Air brakes are not a factor in determining whether or not a vehicle requires a CDL. As for your employer's box truck, the length doesn't matter - the weight rating does. If it has a weight rating of 26,000 lbs. or less, it won't be useful in helping you get a CDL. If it's rated at more than 26,000 lbs. GVW, it can only be used to get a Class B CDL, unless you're attaching a trailer of more than 10,000 lbs. GVW to it, in which case, you can get a Class A, but you'll have a "no tractor-trailers" restriction.

Runaway truck ramp.
Why does a truck seem to jump when braking?
Newtons law of motion comes into play here. When the brakes are applied the body of the truck will want to continue on its forward motion. The contact of the tyres with the road will try to control that forward motion.
Can a class b CDL drive a truck with air-brakes?

How do you get a dump truck to take a test in for class b?
Find someone who'll employ you once you have a CDL, and will offer their truck for the road test. It doesn't have to be a dump truck. You could rent a 33k single axle truck from Penske with an automatic and air brakes, and, according to the DOT, it would qualify you to drive a Class 8 dump truck.
Can you obtain a Class A CDL license for a truck and camper that has no air brakes?
You can get a Class A CDL without air brakes - you'll just have a "no air brakes" restriction which prohibits you from operating a CMV equipped with air brakes. The vehicles you road test have to be commercial vehicles subject to FHWA regulations - recreational vehicles are exempt, so you cannot get a CDL with one.

What can be said about used freightline trucks?
Freightliner trucks are all around great trucks to have. They run as well as any other truck on the road. It just depends on how well the truck has been taking care of as to how well the brakes and other parts will last.
How many feet will it take to stop a 35 ton truck traveling at 45 mph?

If you have allowed the wheels of your vehicle to run off the edge of the pavement. You should?
Take your foot off the accelerator, and slowly move back on the road. Do not jerk the wheel or apply the brakes.
Has the Road Runner ever been outsmarted?
Only once. In the direct-to-video movie Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation, the Road Runner finally gets a taste of humiliation by getting ran over by a mail truck that "brakes for coyotes."
Do you need the airbrake endoresment to drive an automatic truck with airbrakes?
If you're in the US, there is no such thing as an air brake endorsement.
