FREE CDL AIR BRAKES PRACTICE TESTS
The Free CDL Air Brakes Practice Tests developed by CDL Digest each contain 25 multiple choice questions to help you pass the actual CDL Air Brakes Test on the first attempt. You must have a score of 80% (20 out of 25 questions) or better to pass. This test is required for any driver that will be operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) that is equipped with air brakes or an air over hydraulic braking system. Drivers who fail the CDL Air Brake Test or simply decide not to take it based on the type of commercial motor vehicle (CMV), must have an Air Brakes Restriction (L) on their commercial learner’s permit (CLP) or commercial driver’s license (CDL) (49 CFR 383.95).
Air Brakes can be added to a commercial learner’s permit (CLP) or commercial driver’s license (CDL).
