The air brakes endorsement applies to applicants who wish to drive a vehicle with air brakes in Class A, B, or C CDL. To drive a vehicle with air brakes, you must pass the air brake component of the Illinois CDL knowledge test. The IL CDL air brakes test consists of 25 questions, and you'll need at least 20 correct answers to pass (80%).
