The state of New York requires anyone operating a vehicle over 18,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating which is not exempt from CDL requirements by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to possess a CDL of the appropriate class. Additionally, any operating a vehicle of any weight class which is either transporting a quantity of hazardous materials which requires placarding, or is designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver) must possess the appropriate class of CDL with necessary endorsements.

What class of cdl is required for a 26000 pound vehicle?

In most states, you don't need a CDL unless it's carrying hazardous materials or is a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver). In which case, you would need a Class C CDL with the appropriate endorsements. New York State, however, drops the threshold to 18,000 lbs. So, to drive a 26,000 lb. GVWR truck on a for-hire basis in New York, you would need a Class C CDL.

New York State requires anyone operating a for-hire vehicle with a gross weight of over 18,000 lbs. within the state of New York to get a CDL for that vehicle - they are the only state to do such. Other than that, the only circumstances in which a CDL would be required (whether it had air brakes or not - the presence or absence of air brakes has no impact on whether or not that vehicle needs a CDL) is if it's a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), or if it's carrying a quantity of hazardous materials which requires the display of placards.

Do you need a cdl to drive an air brake vehicle that is under 26000 lb gross vehicle weight in nyc?

A vehicle having or not having air brakes has no bearing on whether or not it requires a CDL. On the weight rating, New York State has a pretty unique law. While federal law permits vehicles up to 26,000 lbs. to be driven without a CDL, New York requires that an intrastate commercial use vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 18,000 lbs. requires a CDL.

New York State requires a CDL for intrastate commercial vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 18,000 lbs. In every other state, the only times you need a CDL for a vehicle under 26,001 lbs. is when they're either being used to transport hazardous materials, or else they are buses designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver).
