ELDT.IO Organization / Bulk Program Terms
Last updated October 2026. By creating an Organization account, you agree to the terms below.
1. How Pricing Works, Chosen Per Student
You choose how each student's seat is paid when you add them to a roster, not once for the whole organization. There are three modes:
- You pay: you pay for the seat at your bulk rate, starting at $10 per student and dropping with volume, all four courses included.
- Student pays, you earn: the student pays the normal $15 themselves, and you earn a commission, same rates as the Affiliate Partner Program, once their course is complete.
- Student pays your discounted rate: the student pays directly, but at your current bulk rate instead of $15. You do not pay and you do not earn a commission; it is a courtesy you can extend to your people.
Every seat you pay for or that is paid at your discounted rate, regardless of mode, counts toward your lifetime seat total, which is what determines your bulk rate going forward.
2. How Commissions Work
Commissions only apply to students added under "Student pays, you earn." Your rate increases automatically with your organization's lifetime paid-seat count across all three modes combined ($5 each for your first 50, $6 for 51-100, $7 from 101 onward), and a commission only ever fires when a student you added completes a course and their certificate is confirmed submitted to FMCSA, never just for being added to a roster or paying. Commissions are paid automatically via PayPal or Venmo.
One commission per student. Since ELDT.IO is a single lifetime payment covering all four courses, there is one commission per student, not one per course they complete.
3. W-9 and 1099-NEC
The IRS only requires a 1099-NEC once a contractor is paid $2,000 or more in a calendar year. As our own precaution, we ask for a completed W-9 earlier than that, once your organization's lifetime commission earnings cross $1,500. Everything you have already earned stays yours and gets paid as soon as it is received; we simply hold further payouts until the W-9 is on file. A 1099-NEC is issued to you, not to your individual students, since the commission is paid to the organization.
4. Refunds
Refunds work per student, under the exact same refund policy that applies to any individual driver: available any time before that student's completion certificate is successfully transmitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry, and not refundable after that transmission succeeds. This applies the same way regardless of pricing mode, whether you paid for the seat, the student paid full price, or the student paid your discounted rate. A refund on a "Student pays, you earn" seat, issued before FMCSA transmission, means no commission was ever earned on it, since commissions only pay out after that same transmission is confirmed; the two windows do not overlap.
5. Payouts
You are responsible for providing a valid PayPal or Venmo account to receive commission payouts. If a payout fails because of incorrect or missing details on your end, we will hold it until you correct them; we are not responsible for delays caused by bad payout information.
6. Student Accounts
Every student you add gets their own individual login and their own progress, certificate, and dashboard, the same as any customer who buys a course directly. You can see their status and certificate from your organization dashboard, but they are not locked into your account; it is theirs for life, the same as any other student's.
7. Disputes
Questions about a commission, a missing payout, a refund, or anything else in this program go to info@eldt.io. We will work it out directly; a real person reads and answers that inbox.
8. We Can End the Relationship
We may suspend or terminate any organization account at any time for abuse of the program, including fraudulent or fabricated student roster entries. Commissions already earned on real, completed, FMCSA-confirmed students before termination will still be paid.
