Minimum equipment for taking Class A test?

Yeah and have air brakes and no semi restrictions

 

AS LAgging said, You will have airbrake restriction and No Semi restriction. Also, there is a restriction now that restricts you to automatic trans if that's what you take the test in. All 3 restrictions would require you to retake the exam in an actual big rig and not a pickup truck. I doubt you were thinking that you could sneak a true class A with that set up though right?

 

I agree with the others.

Get a actual 18 wheeler, a full blooded manual transmission truck.

 

YEah even if you showed up to take test in a class b air brake truck with a 10 ton trailer, you would still get semi restriction on class A. In order to not have the restriction, it must be a tractor with 5th wheel. It wasn't but a few years ago where many people would just show up with a big dump truck w/ automatic trans and a tag a long trailer and get class A with no restrictions.

 

What do you mean by semi restriction? That's not a feleral guideline, or state of Michigan restriction. There is a no 5th wheel restriction if that setup used a gooseneck.
Drivers

 

IF the driver wants air brakes and no semi restriction, He will have to step up to an air brakes tractor with a fifth wheel to take the test. That would be a semi truck. So yes it is a federal guideline. On the back of your license will say "O" No semi

He can get a class A with his gooseneck but with that setup, it will have several restrictions. ITs unclear what he was wanting the class A for

 

An O restriction is simply a 5th wheel restriction. Look at the link I gave.

The op didn't say if that setup was a gooseneck or a 5th wheel. If it was a 5th wheel on the pickup, his only restriction would be air brakes (and maybe auto tranny)
