View All PlansRemoving the air brake restriction from your CDL is essential in Rhode Island if you intend to operate any vehicles equipped with air brakes. Passing the Rhode Island DMV Air Brakes Knowledge Test is a mandatory step toward qualifying for often-higher-paying driving opportunities that require air brakes. Failing to pass results in the “L” restriction remaining on your CDL and (in Rhode Island) carries a 5-business-day retest waiting period and an additional fee. That’s quite a penalty and reason enough to ensure you pass the exam on your first attempt. Our Rhode Island CDL Air Brakes Practice Tests help you do that and are intentionally structured to mimic the state exam, helping you pass with flying colors.
Interstate 95, Route 4, Route 6, and Route 146 are some of the major roadways of the state that make commercial driving a lucrative career choice. The Ocean State’s economy relies on industries that use these roads and often require air brake-equipped vehicles. Agriculture, logistics, manufacturing, seafood transport, and tourism are just some of the industries that rely on air brake-qualified drivers. FedEx distribution centers, Penske Truck Leasing, Peter Pan Bus Lines, and the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) frequently rely on drivers qualified to operate vehicles with air brakes. Thousands of full-size school buses are air brake-equipped, requiring qualified drivers.
