Do you need a CDL for a vehicle with commercial plates that does not use air brakes?
When it's an air brake equipped vehicle operating on a for-hire basis which meets any of the following criteria:
- It has a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 26,000 lbs. (New York State lowers the weight to 18,000 lbs.)
- It is a vehicle of any weight rating which is carrying a quantity of hazardous materials which requires the display of placards
- It is a vehicle designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver)
- It is a vehicle of an exempt category (recreational vehicles, military vehicles, registered farm vehicles, firefighting vehicles) which exceed a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs., and are not operating within the specified usage for them to be exempt from CDL requirements (for example, you don't need a CDL to drive an RV, but a delivery driver taking it to the dealership would need one if it exceeds 26,000 lbs. GVWR)

How do you get an air brake license?
In the US, unless you have a Commercial Drivers Licence (CDL), you don't need any additional endorsements to operate a non-commercial vehicle with air brakes. If you're going for a CDL, then you need to take and pass the written test for air brakes, as well as road test on a vehicle equipped with air brakes.

Do you need a cdl to drive a truck with air brakes in Wisconsin?
The type of brakes used in a vehicle does not determine whether or not the vehicle requires a CDL.A commercial use vehicle requires a CDL when:It is a single vehicle or combination vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or Gross Combination Weight Rating of more than 26,000 lbs.It is transporting quantities of hazardous materials which requires the display of hazmat placards, regardless of the vehicle's weight rating.It is a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), regardless of the vehicle's weight rating.If your vehicle matches any of the above criteria, then you need the appropriate class of CDL and you will need to take the written test for air brakes, as well as conduct your road test in an air-brake equipped vehicle. Otherwise, you will receive a restriction on your CDL which prohibits you from operating a commercial vehicle equipped with air brakes or air-over-hydraulic brakes.If your vehicle does not meet any of the above criteria, then a CDL is not required.
Do you need an air brake endorsement for a vehicle under 26000 pounds with air brakes in the state of New Hampshire?
There is no actual air brake endorsement - if you test for a Commercial Drivers Licence (CDL) and either fail the written portion, don't road test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes, or both, you get an L restriction, prohibiting you from operating a commercial vehicle with air brakes. The only times you need a CDL for a vehicle or combination under 26,000 lbs. GVWR is if it's either carrying hazardous materials in a quantity sufficient to require placarding, or designed to carry more than 15 persons (including the driver). In the case of the former, you would need at least a Class C CDL with Hazardous Materials endorsement, and air brakes (if the vehicle is so equipped), as well as the K endorsement for a tanker, if the vehicle is so equipped. For the latter, you would need a P endorsement for passengers (S for school bus), as well as air brakes, if the vehicle was so equipped. If the vehicle you're operating doesn't fall into the criteria of requiring a CDL class licence to operate it, you don't need to be tested for air brakes.
Why do you need front brakes?
The front brakes on any vehicle do most of the stopping. When you apply the brakes the weight shifts to the front of the vehicle. For this reason the front brakes are needed more than the rear. Try stopping a vehicle with just the hand brake which applies only the rear brakes.
Do you need air brake endorsement for truck under26000lbs with air brakes?
Good luck trying to get such an endorsement, because such a thing does not exist on US licenses.The answer is no. Someone who holds a CDL must complete and pass the written air brakes test and perform their road test in a vehicle so equipped, otherwise they get a "no air brakes" restriction which prohibits them from operating a commercial vehicle equipped with air brakes, but doesn't prevent them from operating a vehicle exempt from CDL requirements which is equipped with air brakes.
