Best Answer

You DO NOT need a CDL for an air brake equipped vehicle if:

  • It is a vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. or less (and is kept under that weight), provided it is not carrying hazardous materials requiring placards to be displayed, nor is it a vehicle designed to carry more than 15 passengers (including the driver)
  • It is a registered farm vehicle, provided it is operated by the farmer, members of the farmer's immediate family, or direct employees of the farmer, and it is engaged in activities only in support of farm operations, and not used on a for-hire basis
  • The vehicle is a military vehicle, operated by military personnel (including reservists on drill) in support of military operations
  • The vehicle is a registered recreational vehicle/motorhome

Do you need a air break endorsement to drive a truck with air brakes in pa?

On a US licence, the supposed "air brake endorsement" does not exist. For a driver obtaining a CDL, they must take the written air brakes test, and conduct their road test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes, or else they will get a restriction prohibiting them from operating a commercial vehicle which is so equipped. For everyone else, no such criteria exists - RVers, people renting U-Haul/Ryder trucks, etc. do not need to know the first thing about air brakes in order to be allowed to operate a vehicle equipped with them, so long as that vehicle doesn't require a CDL.


In Pa do you need an air brake endoresment if your vehicle has air brakes but does not exceed 26000 lbs?

You need a Class C CDL--you can't put that kind of endorsement on a regular drivers license. These days there's no such thing as an air brake endorsement; there is a "no air brakes" limitation if you come to your road test in a truck that doesn't have them.


In pa if you drive truck with gvw of 26000 pounds with air brakes do you need cdl license?

26,000 lbs. is what the manufacturer rates it at. So long as you do not let that vehicle get over a gross weight of 26,000 lbs, you do not need a CDL to operate it. The only times you are required to have a CDL for a vehicle under 26,000 lbs. is when it's carrying a sufficient quantity of hazardous materials that placards must be displayed, or if it's designed to carry more than 15 persons (including the driver). If you're attaching a trailer to this 26,000 lb. truck, then you are creating a combination which is rated at over 26,000 lbs. GVWR, and will need a CDL with air brake allowance - Class B is the trailer or vehicle in tow is rated under 10,000 lbs, Class A if the trailer or vehicle in tow is rated over 10,000 lbs.

Do you need a cdl to pull a gooseneck trailer to pa from Texas?

So long as the total Gross Combination Weight Rating of the vehicle is 26,000 lbs. or less, and the weight actually remains under 26,000 lbs., then no, you don't. You also don't need a CDL if it's a vehicle exempt from FMCSA regulation, such as a recreational vehicle.
