Does a class a cdl include air brake endorsement?
There is no air brake endorsement. If you do not pass the written air brakes test AND complete your road test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes, then you get a restriction which prohibits you from operating an commercial vehicle which is equipped with air brakes. It is possible to have a Class A CDL with an air brake restriction.
Is air brake a restriction or endorsement in va?
It is a CDL restriction in all states and territories of the United States.

If it's a job which requires a CDL, then you cannot have the "no air brake" restriction. There is no such thing as an "air brake license" in the US.

I can't help but think that something is missing from the question. Could you review it and post the completed question? As for me, personally, yes, I can. I have a Class A CDL, and no air brake restriction.
Are air brakes automatically included on a class a license?
You have to take and pass the written portion of the air brakes test, as well as be road tested on a vehicle with air brakes. There is no actual air brake endorsement - if you do not meet the criteria to be eligible to operate an air brake equipped vehicle, you get a restriction on your licence - L.
Does a class b cdl include air brake endorsement?
No such thing as an air brake endorsement on a US license. If a CDL applicant does not pass the written air brakes test and perform their pretrip and road tests in a CMV equipped with air brakes, then they receive a restriction which prohibits them from operating a CMV equipped with air brakes.
Which CDL license do I need to drive a Triaxle dump truck?
It would require a Class B CDL, without an air brake restriction (there is no air brake endorsement - only a restriction if you don't pass the written air brakes test and perform your pre-trip and road tests in a vehicle so equipped). You would only need a Class A if that vehicle was going to tow a trailer with a GVW in excess of 10,000 lbs.
How can you have a class a cdl without air break indorsment?
There is no air brake endorsement - if you don't take both the written air brake test, and do your road test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes, you get a restriction barring you from operating an air brake equipped CMV. But yes, it is possible to have a Class A CDL with a "no air brake" restriction. The requirements for a Class A CDL are that the vehicle be used on a commercial, for-hire basis, that the Gross Combination Weight Rating be over 26,000 lbs., and that the vehicle in tow (the trailer) have a weight rating of over 10,000 lbs. It doesn't have to be a tractor-trailer. You can road test in something like a Ford F650. The F650 is rated at 26,000 lbs - that in itself does not require a CDL. If you attach an eight ton trailer to it, you now have a vehicle requiring a Class A CDL. You can take your Class A CDL road test in that, and you'll receive two restrictions - "no air brakes" (only applicable to CMVs - you can still drive an air brake vehicle not requiring a CDL), and "no tractor-trailers".
You have your CA commercial class b licence with tanker and hazmat you just renewed less than a year ago and would like to add the air brake endorsement do you have to take all the test again?
Being someone with a CDL, you should know there is no actual air brake endorsement on a CDL - you get a restriction barring you from operating air brake equipped commercial vehicles. You need to take and pass the written air brakes test, and you need to conduct a road test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes. Then you can have the restriction removed from your CDL.
Can a class b CDL drive a truck with air-brakes?
If it's a truck which isn't considered a CMV, yes. If it is a CMV, you must have completed the written air brakes test and have done your road test in an air brake equipped vehicle. Otherwise, you'll have a restriction prohibiting you from operating an air brake equipped CMV.
Can you take a CDL road test in a truck without air brakes and still not get air brake restriction?
No. If you want a CDL without the "no airbrake vehicles" restriction, you must complete and pass the written air brakes test, and you must perform the road test in an air brake equipped vehicle appropriate to the class of licence you are applying for. There are no exceptions to this rule, and it does not vary between states - CDLs are federally administered, and their regulation is a matter of federal law.
Does a air brake endorsement expire on a class B CDL?
No. There is no air brake endorsement. If you completed the written air brakes test and did your road test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes, you're certified to operate an air brake equipped CMV. Otherwise, you'll have a restriction on your license which prohibits you from operating a CMV equipped with air brakes (although this does not apply to non-CMVs, such as U-Haul trucks and RVs).
