View All PlansPlanning to drive commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) equipped with air brakes in Hawaii? Passing the CDL Air Brakes Knowledge Test and the Skills Test (in an air brake-equipped vehicle) is a necessity. Most CMVs, including tractor-trailers, combination vehicles, and even large school buses, are air brake-equipped and require this qualification (among other qualifications). When you pass the Hawaii DMV Air Brakes Knowledge Test and Skills Test, the “L” restriction is removed from your commercial driver license (CDL). Without passing these two tests, the “L” remains, and you simply cannot legally operate CMVs equipped with air brakes.
The Hawaii CDL Air Brakes Knowledge Test consists of 20 multiple-choice questions, and you must answer at least 16 correctly (80%) to pass. If you don’t pass, you must wait at least one business day before retesting and may be charged a retest fee. Delays and added fees are precisely what we want to help you avoid. Our experts have crafted the perfect Air Brakes Practice Tests to help ensure you pass your official exam on the first attempt.

Our practice tests mirror the DMV format and are based on the latest CDL Manual. You’ll be completely comfortable and familiar with the official test before you even arrive at the testing site, helping you relax and ace the exam. Our practice tests uncover many of the common traps, distractors, tricky wording, and use of double negatives that often appear on the official exam. Each response you provide on our practice tests is met with helpful hints as needed, explanations, and immediate AI-powered feedback to speed learning. You’ll work alongside an interactive CDL handbook and a Challenge Bank that remembers questions that you miss and asks them again later to ensure you learn the material.

Major industries like construction, agriculture, logistics, and inter-island freight transport include many employers eager to hire air brake-qualified drivers. Such companies include Grace Pacific, Hawaii Transfer Company, and Young Brothers. The opportunities for skilled and qualified drivers across the islands are incredible.
You should also consider preparing for and passing the CDL Combination Vehicles Test, which is one of the requirements for obtaining a Class A License. We have practice tests for that as well: https://driving-tests.org/hawaii/hi-cdl-combination-test/. You can also enhance your employability by adding endorsements such as T (Doubles/Triples), N (Tank Vehicles), H (Hazardous Materials), or X (Tank + Hazmat).
