    I am 41 yo, wife and two kids but I am used to working away from home. I got my CDL to hotshot but that didn't work out. My last 7 years was spent in the oilfield. I am honest, hardworking, and reliable. Let's talk.

    I'm not sure what state you live in but the airbrake portion of the test is required to have a class A...the only endorsements are ... Tanker, haz-mat, doubles/triples, and passenger

    If you have a class B...I believe you need to take airbrakes, and combination vehicles to upgrade to a class A

    and I could be mistaken since its been 16 years since I took the test

    i think basically he took his cdl a in a pickup with a gooseneak trailer, as a trailer with over 10k weight rating requires cdl a. however i am unsure if air brake is just a written or if it has to be part of the driving test. may call your local motor vehicle department and see if you might only need to take a written test. if that is the case the written portion of the air break test is easy.

    How in the hell did you get a class A CDL without passing or even taking the air brake test? Class B maybe but not Class A. Not sure about other states but I know for a fact Louisiana and Missouri don't legally work that way.

    It will be written and road test. It is required. Written to show knowledge and road test to demonstrate said knowledge.

    You can get a class A in any state with a air brake restriction
