Same way they do on any other vehicle. Moisture got into the system, it got cold, it froze. Check your air drier and replace if needed. Get some brake line antifreeze and introduce it into the air system. Isopropyl alcohol works, as well.
Air and hydraulic brake systems.
A two brake system, one operates the front brakes and one operates the back brakesWell it depends on what the previous answer is referring to; But when it comes to large class A commercial vehicles the following apply:A. A dual air brake system has two separate air brake systems which use a single set of brake controlsB. A dual air brake system has two separate air brake systems, the first system is called the primary system. The other is called the secondary system.C. A dual air brake system has two separate air brake systems, each system has its own air tanks, hoses, lines, etc..D. A dual air brake system has two separate air brake systems, both systems supply air to the trailer if there is one.If you see this question on a CDL written test and the answers are like these and then they have an E. All of the above, the answer is E.

Typically brake systems in cars and pickups have brake fluid, not air in the lines. There should never be air in your automotive break line
The bleed screw on the calipers of brake systems are for 'bleeding' air out of the brake lines.
Because the water can freeze in cold weather And cause brake failure.
could be the grade of brake pads you use, might have air in your brake systems that you need to bleed, could be low on brake fluid or completely dry.
Air takes more time to flow through the lines than hydraulic fluid.
There is no such thing. Training on air brakes is only required by CDL drivers. If they do not complete both the written air brakes test and conduct their road test in an air brake equipped vehicle, they receive a restriction prohibiting them from operating an air brake equipped CMV. For non-commercial vehicles, there is no training or testing requirement in regards to air brake systems, whatsoever, hence, there is no air brake endorsement.
George Westinghouse invented the air brake, and created the Westinghouse Air Brake Company to manufacture and sell it. That company is still in business.
Pneumatic = Air! There are brake systems that use a combination of both pneumatic and hydraulic components. In those combination braking systems you would use the hydraulic brake fluid that the manufacture specifies.
Yes, in Michigan, you are required to have an air brake endorsement to drive a commercial vehicle with air brakes. This endorsement is obtained by passing a written knowledge test specifically for air brake systems.
