In the US, no - there is no such thing as an air brake endorsement - only a restriction for CDL holders who don't pass the written air brakes test and complete the pretrip and road tests in a vehicle equipped with air brakes, which prohibits them from operating vehicles requiring a CDL which are equipped with air brakes.

26000 lb truck with air brakes do you need air brake endorsement in the state of Maine?
You can't get one. Primarily, because there is no such thing as an air brake endorsement on a US drivers licence. For a non-commercial vehicle (as defined by the FMCSR), absolutely no knowledge of, testing of, or training on air brake systems is required. It is only applicable to CDL holders. If they do not take both the written air brakes test AND conduct their road test in an air brake equipped vehicle, they receive a restriction on their CDL which prohibits them from operating air brake equipped commercial vehicles.

What is air brake endorsement?
In some countries, to be permitted to operate an air brake equipped vehicle, your licence must show an endorsement which permits you to. In the US, "air brake endorsement" is actually a misnomer - there is no air brake endorsement on a US licence. If a CDL driver does not pass the written air brakes test and conduct their road test in an air brake equipped vehicle, they get a restriction prohibiting them from operating an air brake equipped commercial vehicles. However, this is only applicable to commercial vehicles - operating a non-commercial vehicle with air brakes requires absolutely no qualification, whatsoever.
