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.

How do you get air brake endorsment in Georgia?
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.
