Can you get a class a cdl using a straight truck over 26000 lbs and trailer with electric brakes in Iowa?
So long as it is a commercial vehicle and the GVW of the trailer is greater than 10,000 lbs, yes. If it's hooked by a pintle and clevice, you will receive a "no tractor-trailers" restriction.
Do you need to take the air brake portion of the CDL test to drive a combination vehicle over 26000 pounds in the state of Arizona?
Only if it's a vehicle equipped with air brakes.
If you are towing a 5000 lb travel trailer do you need to install a electric braking unit evev though you have a tow package?
Absolutely! You should never tow a trailer over 3,000lbs without brakes, especially with a Jeep. Make sure you install a brake controller, check your trailer brakes, and adjust and test the brakes to make sure you can stop safely.
Do you need a CDL if you are hauling a trailer with electric brakes?
If the total weight rating of the combination (power and trailer) is over 26,000 lbs., and it's not a vehicle under exemption for CDL requirements, then yes.
How can trailer brakes kill you?
1 way trailer brakes can get you killed...If you are going down a long steep grade (hill) your car/truck brakes (which are only made to stop your car or truck) will get hot and glaze over and eventually completely fail if your trailer brakes don't work properly.You will probably go over the side of the hill,crash into something and kill yourself and possibly other people.If it don't work,don't tow it.

In pa if you drive truck with gvw of 26000 pounds with air brakes do you need cdl license?
26,000 lbs. is what the manufacturer rates it at. So long as you do not let that vehicle get over a gross weight of 26,000 lbs, you do not need a CDL to operate it. The only times you are required to have a CDL for a vehicle under 26,000 lbs. is when it's carrying a sufficient quantity of hazardous materials that placards must be displayed, or if it's designed to carry more than 15 persons (including the driver). If you're attaching a trailer to this 26,000 lb. truck, then you are creating a combination which is rated at over 26,000 lbs. GVWR, and will need a CDL with air brake allowance - Class B is the trailer or vehicle in tow is rated under 10,000 lbs, Class A if the trailer or vehicle in tow is rated over 10,000 lbs.
Do you have to have a CDL to drive a single axle dump truck with air brakes?
Depends on the gross weight rating. If it's rated at 26,000 lbs. and below (such as a Ford F650 or F750), no, as long as you don't go over that weight. If it's a vehicle rated at over 26,000 lbs, then you need a Class B CDL. Now, if you take a truck rated at 26,000 lbs (which you wouldn't need a CDL for), then add a trailer, you've created a combination with a GVWR of over 26,000 lbs, and you would need a CDL for it. If the trailer is rated under 10,000 lbs., you would need a Class B CDL. If the trailer is rated over 10,000 lbs, you would need a Class A CDL (the same licence you would need to drive an 18 wheeler). So, basically, for a few examples: 26,000 lb. truck with air brakes = No CDL required 30,000 lb. truck with air brakes = Class B CDL with air brakes required 26,000 lb. truck with air brakes and a trailer of less than 10,000 lbs = Class B CDL with air brakes required 26,000 lb. truck with air brakes and 15,000 lb. trailer = Class A CDL with air brakes required 10,000 lb. truck with 15,000 lb. trailer = No CDL required 10,000 lb. truck with 20,000 lb. trailer = Class A CDL required (no air brakes necessary if the vehicle is not so equipped) Bear in mind that these are for gross vehicle weight ratings, not the actual weight of the vehicle itself. So, if a truck weighs 10,000 lbs. empty, but has a gross vehicle weight rating of 33,000 lbs., you need a CDL to operate that vehicle at all times, regardless of what the actual weight of it is at any given time. There is no actual air brake endorsement for CDLs - if you don't pass the written portion of the exam and test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes, you get an L restriction.
Will your 2002 Xterra pull your 4300 pound travel trailer?
I have a 2003 xterra 4 x 4 and I pull a 4,300 coachman travel trailer with it. It will pull the trailer provided that you have a weight equalizing hitch and trailer brakes. You have to pull the trailer with the automatic transmission out of over drive.
