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.

Do you need a air brake endorsement for a business truck under 26001 pounds in Arizona?
There is no such thing as an air brake endorsement on any US license, CDL or otherwise. Only a restriction for CDL holders if they don't complete the written air brakes test and perform their pretrip and road tests in a CMV equipped with air brakes, which prohibits them from operating a vehicle requiring a CDL which is equipped with air brakes.
Do you need an air brake endorsement for a vehicle under 26000 pounds with air brakes in the state of New York?
Try looking for "air brake endorsement" in the NY driver's manual. You'll notice there isn't mention of one. The reason is because there isn't one. For a CDL driver, if they do not complete and pass the written air brakes test and then conduct their road test in a class appropriate vehicle equipped with air brakes, then they get a restriction which bars them from operating an air-brake equipped commercial vehicles.
Do you need an air brake endorsement for a vehicle under 26000 pounds with air brakes in the state of MN?
I would hope not, seeing as you can't get one. There is no such thing as an air brake endorsement on a US license. Go ahead.. read your state's driver license manual and the CDL manual - you'll never see "air brake endorsement" anywhere in there. Now, for people with a CDL, there is an air brake restriction. If they don't pass the written air brakes test and complete their pretrip and road tests in the appropriate category of vehicle equipped with air brakes, then they'll get the 'no air brakes' restriction, which prohibits them from operating a vehicle requiring a CDL if it is equipped with air brakes. The only times a vehicle under 26k GVW requires a CDL is if it's either hauling hazmat or a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (this number includes the driver).
Do you need a cdl to drive a vehicle with air brakes under 26000 pounds?
Air brakes have absolutely ZERO determination in whether or not a vehicle requires a CDL.
Do you need an air brake endorsement to drive a vehicle under 26000 pounds with air brakes in Florida?
Only if it's either designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), or else carrying a quantity of hazardous materials which requires the display of placards under the FMCSR. In both instances, you would need at least a Class C CDL without an air brake restriction (there is no actual air brake endorsement), as well as a passenger endorsement (for a passenger bus) or hazardous materials endorsement.
Do you need a class b cdl or a class c cdl to drive a 16000 lb trolley with air brakes?
Class C. Since the vehicle weighs less than 26,001 pounds you don't need a Class B CDL, but you can't put an air brake endorsement on a non-commercial driver's license so Class C it is. Make sure you bring a vehicle with air brakes to your road test; if you don't you'll receive a "no air brakes" limitation on your license. However, since a trolley is a rail vehicle, and not a road vehicle, it's likely you won't need a CDL for it, but will have to undergo company training to operate it.

What is the requirement of driving a truck under 26000 pounds with air brakes in WI?
Have a valid drivers license. Requiring actual training or knowledge of air brakes for people without a CDL would inconvenience the RVers, and we certainly can't have that.The only time any addtional licensing requirements would be imposed in the instance of such a vehicle would be if it were a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), or a vehicle carrying a quantity of hazardous materials that required the display of placards as directly by CFR 49. In the case of the former, a Class C CDL with Passenger endorsement (or school bus endorsement, if applicable) would be required. In the case of the latter, a Class C CDL with hazmat endorsement would be required. In both cases, the driver would need to complete and pass the written CDL air brakes test and road test on a vehicle so equipped, or else they would receive a restriction prohibiting them from operating a commercial vehicle equipped with air brakes.But no such restrictions exist for vehicle deemed private usage.
