Yes, so long as it is not classed as a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV). For a vehicle under 26,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating to be classed as such, it would need to either be a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver) or carrying a quantity of hazardous materials which required the display of hazmat placards.

What is air brake endorsement?
In some countries, to be permitted to operate an air brake equipped vehicle, your licence must show an endorsement which permits you to. In the US, "air brake endorsement" is actually a misnomer - there is no air brake endorsement on a US licence. If a CDL driver does not pass the written air brakes test and conduct their road test in an air brake equipped vehicle, they get a restriction prohibiting them from operating an air brake equipped commercial vehicles. However, this is only applicable to commercial vehicles - operating a non-commercial vehicle with air brakes requires absolutely no qualification, whatsoever.

You don't need a CDL to operate a vehicle with air brakes if the vehicle doesn't fall within the requirements to mandate a CDL licenced driver to operate it. For example, RVs often have air brakes, as do many of the trucks manufactured for companies like FedEx, UPS, Merita Bread, etc.

Do you need a air break endorsement to drive a truck with air brakes in pa?
On a US licence, the supposed "air brake endorsement" does not exist. For a driver obtaining a CDL, they must take the written air brakes test, and conduct their road test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes, or else they will get a restriction prohibiting them from operating a commercial vehicle which is so equipped. For everyone else, no such criteria exists - RVers, people renting U-Haul/Ryder trucks, etc. do not need to know the first thing about air brakes in order to be allowed to operate a vehicle equipped with them, so long as that vehicle doesn't require a CDL.

Do you need an air brake endorsement for a vehicle under 26000 pounds with air brakes in the state of New Hampshire?
There is no actual air brake endorsement - if you test for a Commercial Drivers Licence (CDL) and either fail the written portion, don't road test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes, or both, you get an L restriction, prohibiting you from operating a commercial vehicle with air brakes. The only times you need a CDL for a vehicle or combination under 26,000 lbs. GVWR is if it's either carrying hazardous materials in a quantity sufficient to require placarding, or designed to carry more than 15 persons (including the driver). In the case of the former, you would need at least a Class C CDL with Hazardous Materials endorsement, and air brakes (if the vehicle is so equipped), as well as the K endorsement for a tanker, if the vehicle is so equipped. For the latter, you would need a P endorsement for passengers (S for school bus), as well as air brakes, if the vehicle was so equipped. If the vehicle you're operating doesn't fall into the criteria of requiring a CDL class licence to operate it, you don't need to be tested for air brakes.
