Securing a commercial driver’s license (CDL) without the air brake restriction is absolutely essential in Vermont for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operators because the majority of them are air brake-equipped. Without the air brake restriction, the doors are open to a significantly larger number of jobs driving large CMVs, such as tractor-trailers and full-size buses. With the restriction, a CDL is close to useless for that purpose. Failing the Vermont DMV CDL Air Brakes Knowledge Test retains the restriction “L” on your license. This tiny letter prohibits you from operating CMVs equipped with air brakes. Failing the Air Brakes Knowledge Test also results in a minimum one-business-day wait and a retest fee. Our Vermont DMV CDL Air Brakes Practice Tests are designed to help you pass the official exam on your very first attempt.
Based on the official VT CDL HandbookHandbook‑based (2025) + exam‑taker feedback
When hauling cargo through tricky corridors like I-89, I-91, US-7, and US-4, the Vermont winters add even more challenges with icy roads, heavy snow, and freezing rain. These hazards demand reliable braking, and air brakes are necessary on many CMVs. Major industries in the state, including dairy products, maple syrup, timber, and tourism and charter services, rely on vehicles equipped with air brakes. Companies such as Emerson & Sons Logging, Farm Connex, Goodrich Maple Farm, and Premier Coach in Williston rely on drivers trained in mountain-grade braking. Even school districts statewide require air brake-qualified operators, since most full–size buses operate using air brake systems. Without passing the air brakes test, you are shut out of these positions across the Green Mountain State.
The written knowledge exam consists of multiple-choice questions based on the official CDL manual and requires a minimum score of 80% to pass. You’ll be tested on topics like braking procedures, inspection requirements, system components, and troubleshooting. Our practice tests replicate the format of the DMV Air Brakes Knowledge Test and provide immediate responses so you can learn as you go. Our state-of-the-art Challenge Bank continues to test you on missed questions and concepts until you answer correctly. This method accelerates learning and substantially improves retention.
