I built DLA Academy to put $80–$100 back in CDL drivers' pockets. Hazmat ELDT shouldn't cost $109 when the federal curriculum is identical across every approved provider. Charging $20 only works if I keep volume coming in.

That's where you come in. If you've got a trucking audience — on TikTok, YouTube, in a Facebook group, in a class you teach, in a fleet you dispatch — you can earn weekly income pointing drivers to a product they need anyway.

25% commission. $5 on every single course. $7.50–$12.50 on bundles. Weekly payouts. No application, no monthly minimums, no quotas. Just a link, a real-time dashboard, and a check every week.

Pilot affiliates are already averaging $500/week. The math is simple: a viral TikTok with the "$20 vs $109" angle gets clicks, and clicks convert because the product is half the price of competitors and FMCSA-approved.

Sign up free, get your link in under 2 minutes, and start sending traffic.

Who This Is For
Built for People Already in the Trucking World

The DLA Affiliate Club works best for people with an existing audience or network of CDL drivers. Here are the four highest-converting affiliate types.

For CDL Instructors
Hand Out Your Link in Class

If you teach CDL students every week, you've already got the audience. Mention DLA as the $20 ELDT option when students ask where to complete theory. Most instructors see 10–30 students/month — that's $50–$150 in side commissions on top of your teaching pay.

High-converting angle: "I tell my students to use this so they don't waste money before showing up to class."
For Trucking Content Creators
Drop Your Link in Bio

TikTok, YouTube, Instagram trucking creators — the "$20 vs $109" hook converts cold viewers. One viral CDL Short with your affiliate link can drive 50–100 sales in a week. Bundle promotion (Hazmat + Test Prep at $30) pushes AOV higher.

High-converting angle: "Hazmat endorsement for $20 is real — here's the FMCSA-approved provider I used."
For Fleet Managers & Dispatch
Save Your Drivers Money

If you onboard CDL drivers or manage a fleet that needs Hazmat-endorsed drivers, you're already pointing people toward ELDT providers. Point them to DLA instead and earn back the recruiting cost on every signup — while still saving your drivers $80+ per endorsement.

High-converting angle: "Our company uses DLA for ELDT — here's the link so you don't get gouged."
For Trucking Spouses with Social Media
Monetize the Audience You Already Have

If your TikTok or Instagram is already about the trucking life, your followers are the highest-converting affiliate audience there is. Spouses, partners, and family members of drivers know exactly when someone's adding Hazmat. Soft-sell content beats hard pitches every time.

High-converting angle: "My husband just got his Hazmat through DLA for $20 — sharing in case it helps your driver."

Affiliate FAQ
Real Questions, Direct Answers
How much does it cost to join? +
Nothing. The DLA Academy affiliate program is 100% free. No application fees, no monthly costs, no minimum sales quotas. Sign up, get your unique affiliate link, start promoting.
How much commission do I earn per sale? +
25% of every sale you refer. That's $5 on every $20 single ELDT course, $7.50 on the $30 Hazmat + DMV Test Prep bundle, $11.25 on the $45 CDL Complete bundle, and $12.50 on the $50 3-Endorsement bundle. No caps, no tiers — every sale pays the same percentage.
When and how do I get paid? +
Commissions are paid out weekly via PayPal or Stripe — you choose your preferred method at signup. Your affiliate dashboard tracks every click, sale, and pending payout in real time.
Is there a minimum payout threshold? +
No minimum. If you earn $5 in a week, you get $5. We don't hold your money hostage waiting for a $50 or $100 minimum like most affiliate programs do.
Will I receive a 1099 for taxes? +
Yes. Once you earn $600 or more in a calendar year, DLA Academy issues a 1099-NEC for your tax filing. Affiliates earning less than $600 won't receive a 1099 but are still responsible for reporting income.
Can I promote with paid ads (Google Ads, Facebook Ads)? +
Yes, with one rule: you cannot bid on the DLA Academy brand name or trademark terms (like "DLA Academy" or "academyofdla") in paid ad keywords. This prevents affiliates from competing against the main brand on its own searches. Any other paid traffic source is fair game — generic CDL terms, Hazmat keywords, state-specific terms.
How does tracking work? What's the cookie length? +
Your unique affiliate link drops a 30-day tracking cookie when someone clicks it. If they purchase any DLA Academy course within 30 days — even if they come back from a different source — you get credit for the sale. Multi-device tracking is supported when users sign up with the same email.
What marketing assets do you provide? +
You get your unique affiliate link plus a real-time dashboard tracking clicks, conversions, and commissions. Plus ready-made banner images, sample social media post copy for TikTok and Instagram, email swipe templates, and a CDL content angle library updated monthly with what's working.
Can I promote DLA Academy internationally? +
You can promote internationally, but DLA Academy ELDT courses are designed for the U.S. CDL licensing process. International audiences won't convert because they can't use the certification. Best results come from promoting to U.S.-based CDL drivers.
What if my customer clicks my link but buys days later on a different device? +
The 30-day tracking cookie covers most cases — as long as they use the same browser, you get credit. For cross-device tracking, the system matches by email address at checkout. If they sign up with the same email they used after clicking your link, you get credit even on a new device.
Are there rules about how I promote DLA Academy? +
Three rules: (1) Don't claim affiliation with DLA Academy beyond what's true — you're an affiliate, not an employee. (2) Don't make medical, legal, or earnings guarantees about CDL courses or driver income. (3) Don't bid on the DLA Academy brand name in paid ads. Everything else — content style, platform, audience — is your call.
How long until I get my affiliate link after signing up? +
Instant. Your unique affiliate link is generated automatically when you complete signup. No approval delays, no manual review. You can start promoting within minutes.
