NE CDL Air Brakes Practice Test 4 2025

Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements.

Two essential steps needed to drive vehicles equipped with air brakes are passing the Nebraska DMV CDL Air Brakes Knowledge Test and passing the Skills Test in an air brake-equipped vehicle. In the Cornhusker State, if you fail the knowledge test or the Skills Test (or you take your skills exam in a vehicle without air brakes), the “L” restriction will remain on your CDL, preventing you from operating any commercial vehicle with air brakes. That restriction will shut you out of many job opportunities, as most CMVs are equipped with air brakes. The Air Brakes Knowledge Test includes multiple-choice questions based on the state’s official CDL Manual. You must earn a minimum score of 80% to pass. If you fail either test, there are required waiting periods and retest fees. Our Nebraska DMV CDL Air Brakes Practice Tests are designed to help you pass on your first try.

Nebraska’s major roadways, including I-80, I-29, US-6, and US-34, connect agricultural centers to distribution hubs across the region. Major employers such as Arrow Stage Lines, Crete Carrier Corporation, H&M Trucking, K&D Transportation, NSG Logistics, Rollin’ Coal Trucking, and Werner Enterprises rely on drivers certified to operate air-brake-equipped rigs. The state’s school districts also operate air-brake-equipped buses, requiring drivers to hold the air-brake qualification.

Our Air Brakes Practice Tests mirror the official exam, including coverage of some tricky methods found in the wording of its questions. Often, test-takers face tricky wording, distractors, and double negatives in test questions. Our practice tests introduce those to you in your preparations so that when you walk into the official test, you’ll be fully prepared. Our practice tests also include instant AI-driven feedback, updated content based on the most recent manual, an interactive CDL Manual, and a Challenge Bank that recycles any missed questions until you prove you’ve mastered them.

There are other methods for increasing the marketability of your CDL, including the addition of endorsements like (N) Tanker, (H) Hazardous Materials, and (T) Doubles/Triples. We have Nebraska Practice Tests for that objective as well: https://driving-tests.org/nebraska/ne-cdl-hazmat-practice-test/. Furthermore, consider practicing for the official CDL Combination Vehicles Knowledge Exam with our series of Combination Vehicles Practice Tests in pursuit of a Class A License: https://driving-tests.org/nebraska/ne-cdl-combination-test/.
