There is no such thing as an air brake endorsement. If a CDL driver does not pass the written air brakes test and conduct their road test in an air brake equipped vehicle, they receive a restriction which prohibits them from operating air brake equipped commercial vehicles - however, this only applies to vehicles requiring a CDL to be operated. For vehicles which don't require a CDL, and fall outside the jurisdiction of the FMCSA, these regulations do not exist. The only way you're required to have a CDL for a vehicle grossing less than 26,0001 lbs. is if it's:
- A bus designed to transport more than 15 persons, including the driver. In this instance, a minimum of a Class C CDL with a passenger endorsement is required, and the operator must not have a "no air brakes" restriction if the vehicle is equipped with air brakes
- Carrying sufficient quantities of hazardous material that it requires the display of hazmat placards. In this case, a minimum of a Class C CDL with hazmat endorsement is required, and the operator must not have a "no air brakes" restriction if the vehicle is equipped with air brakes
- Then there's New York's laws, which brings the weight requirement from 26,001 lbs. down to 18,001 lbs. (which, IMO, is a sensible law). But that's only for for-hire vehicles operating on an intrastate basis and registered in New York state.
If your vehicle doesn't meet any of that criteria, you can drive it on a regular Class R licence, with absolutely no knowledge of air brakes, whatsoever.
