What will happen if im caught driving a truck with air brakes and i don't have a cdl?
Well, there are three questions to ask of you here..
- Does the vehicle has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 26,000 lbs.?
- Is the vehicle, at any weight rating, transporting a quantity of hazardous materials which requires placards to be displayed?
- Is the vehicle, at any weight rating, a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver)?
If the answer to all three is "no", then not a thing. Air brakes do not require a CDL.

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.
