∙ 11y agoThis is a tricky one. The GVWR doesn't call for anything but a Class C driver's license--the cutoff for that is 26,001 pounds--but this truck has air brakes and you're driving it as part of your job--maybe your whole job. If I was driving this truck I'd want a Class B CDL and I'd take the air brakes test.
Not for a Class C, unless you need to road test on a vehicle with air brakes.
i have a 93 nissan and the front brakes are getting hot when driving
Test brakes lightly after driving through deep water.Brakes may pull to one side or may not hold at all.Dry brakes by driving slowly in low gear and applying brakes.
Yes. Air brakes have absolutely zero to do with determining what type of license a vehicle requires.
The answer can be yes or no here, situation dependent. If you intend to operate a CMV equipped with air brakes, the answer is yes - if one does not pass the written air brakes test and perform their road test in an air brake equipped vehicle, they get a restriction on their license prohibiting them from operating commercial vehicles equipped with air brakes.
Your medical card has to do with your medical condition and has nothing to do with air brakes. Air brakes is an endorsement on your license. To qualify for driving a vehicle with air brakes, you must first complete a written test on air brakes and when you pass that test, your license can receive the air brakes endorsement. There are also endorsements for HazMat, combination vehicles, motorcycles, school buses, etc.. But regarding your medical card, it has its own expiration date separate from your license and its duration depends on your prior medical condition. If you have perhaps Diabetes you may be required to see a doctor every month to keep your license. High bloodpressure, or sleep apnea also affect your medical card. If you are healthy you may need to renew it once in three years depending on the state in which you live.
Yes, that will work.
No
Whether a vehicle has air, hydraulic, or air-over-hydraulic brakes has zero determination on the class of license required to operate it.
it has to have tyres and brakes
In the US, they do not. Requirements for congears to have spring brakes may exist in other countries, however.
