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 North Carolina CDL knowledge test. The NC CDL air brakes test consists of 25 questions, and you'll need at least 20 correct answers to pass (80%). The test covers the information found in the air brakes section of the North Carolina CDL Manual. Take this NC CDL practice test now to prepare for the actual air brakes test!
