Class A CDL: Combinations with a Gross Combination Weight Rating in excess of 26,000 lbs., when the vehicle in tow (i.e., trailer) has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 10,000 lbs.

Class B CDL: Single vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 26,000 lbs., or combinations with a Gross Combination Weight Rating in excess of 26,000 lbs., provided that the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle in tow (i.e., trailer) does not exceed 10,000 lbs.

Class C CDL: Vehicles or combinations with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating/Gross Combination Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. or less, but which are either a) buses designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver) or b) transporting quantities of hazardous materials which require the display of hazmat placards.

Whether a vehicle has air, air-over-hydraulic, or hydraulic brakes has absolutely no determination in whether or not that vehicle needs a CDL.
