Find someone who'll employ you once you have a CDL, and will offer their truck for the road test. It doesn't have to be a dump truck. You could rent a 33k single axle truck from Penske with an automatic and air brakes, and, according to the DOT, it would qualify you to drive a Class 8 dump truck.

In North Carolina what are the requirements to operate a dump truck with a gvwr of less than 26000 lbs and equipped with air over hydraulic brakes?

This is a tricky one. The GVWR doesn't call for anything but a Class C driver's license--the cutoff for that is 26,001 pounds--but this truck has air brakes and you're driving it as part of your job--maybe your whole job. If I was driving this truck I'd want a Class B CDL and I'd take the air brakes test.

Learn to Drive a Dump Truck?

Dump truck drivers are used in several different fields. They may be used for garbage pickup in smaller towns or camp areas. Dump truck drivers are also used in the construction field. Some individuals work independently as a dump truck driver for hire. In such a position, they are hired to haul loads of furniture, tree clippings or other items that need to be removed and dumped. Dirt and sand companies usually hire dump truck drivers to deliver loads. Companies in agricultural areas also employ dump truck drivers to haul and dump manure or fertilizer. In some situations, the dump truck driver may also be required to do manual heavy lifting, which is physically strenuous and may cause injuries. In order to become a dump truck driver, a clean driving and criminal record are required. Since the truck must be driven on public roads, most companies who hire dump truck drivers will require a Commercial Driver's License. Private companies that operate by using only country roads or their own property may not have this requirement for short driving distances. To obtain a Commercial Driver's License, or CDL, a great deal of studying and driving practice is required. The written tests are taken at the DMV office, followed by the driving test. There are CDL guide books and practice tests available online or at the DMV. Usually a 30-day waiting period between test attempts is mandatory, so it is important to study thoroughly and know the material in order to pass on the first attempt. Many employers hire drivers on the condition that they must pass the test quickly, so if it is failed more than once, employers may retract their offer. Some companies may also provide an extra class to ensure their drivers know how to operate the dump truck properly. Wages for dump truck drivers vary greatly. Drivers who own a dump truck and work on a contract basis may charge higher rates to absorb the cost of operating their business. Salaries are well over $60,000 per year for independent drivers, but much of that is re-invested in the business. Company-paid drivers usually earn between $35,000 and $45,000 annually.

How much dose a driver with a class b with air brake endorsement earn?

As much as their company is willing to pay them. You could have a Class B CDL and drive a trash truck, dump truck, roll off truck, oilfield truck, or have a job where driving isn't even the primary line of work. By the way, there is no such thing as an air brake endorsement on a US license - only a restriction for CDL drivers if they don't pass the written air brakes test and perform their pretrip and road tests in a vehicle equipped with air brakes.
