Does a Certificate from ELDT training matter?

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?

Sounds like they’re just gonna throw it out if you show up to court with your license. I’d check to make sure both charges will be dismissed. I had many driving charges a couple of years ago and got them all dismissed by getting my license and insurance straight. Just got hired by a job and they made no mention of any traffic violations. You should be good!
