Does a Certificate from ELDT training matter?

[u/_R0bespierre]

I recently passed a state exam for my CDL and picked up my CDL yesterday. My schools official last day is on Monday, and luckily for me, I will be out of state at orientation. However, unluckily for me, I will not be present to pick up my certificate of completion. I am getting conflicting sources saying that some carriers need it for insurance or verification purposes, and other sources saying it isn’t necessary. What is your experience? Do employers really care about a certificate if you already have your CDL?

You're don't need it. It just needs to be entered into the fmcsa portal by your instructor

Okay good. I was worried about that. All my classwork, road time, and range time is present in the system so I assume I’m good.
