WA CDL Air Brakes “Endorsement” Practice Test 2 2025

  • Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements
  • Based on 2025 WA commercial driver's license manual
  • Triple-checked for accuracy
  • Updated for September 2025

An air brake-qualified driver has a greater chance of taking advantage of the best driving opportunities offered by employers, such as System Transport and King County Metro. If you’re expecting to lock down one of these jobs, an ”L” restriction on your Washington Commercial Driver’s License will likely disqualify you. An “L” restriction does not permit you to operate any vehicle equipped with air brakes. Since most semi-trucks and full-size buses are equipped with air brakes, you will be restricted from driving these vehicles. Changing road conditions can demand quick reaction, and air brakes make it possible to slow down or come to a complete stop while transporting heavily weighted loads. Heavy rain, tight turns, and heavily congested traffic require you to regulate your speed, and a comprehensive understanding of air brake systems is necessary to preserve your safety.

Our Washington DOL CDL air brake “endorsement” practice test provides an innovative study method to help you become an air brake-qualified driver. Removing the “L” restriction from your CDL is accomplished by passing a skills test (including conducting an inspection of the air brake system) and an official Air Brakes Knowledge Test. You must correctly answer at least 80% of the 25 questions on the official knowledge test to earn a passing score. The practice test is a useful tool for establishing a baseline of your current knowledge and targeting your specific learning barriers. Using 30 questions, the practice test gives you an opportunity to exhibit your knowledge and points out the information you must learn to achieve your goals.

This Washington DOL CDL air brake “endorsement” practice test produces the maximum benefit of your study time. The practice test is based on the most recent Washington DOL CDL manual (Washington CDL Handbook 2025) and is up to date as of September 2025. If you get a question wrong, you can depend on the practice test to provide a full explanation of the correct answer with information from the CDL manual. You can place your full confidence in the guidance provided and apply it to various driving scenarios you may see on the official knowledge test. The innovative approach of the practice test is more effective than traditional study methods in rapidly developing your understanding of air brakes.

Traditional study methods are designed to be one-dimensional and not assist you in finding additional information to fill your knowledge gaps. Your success depends upon your ability to memorize the answers to the questions. This approach is detrimental to your progress because you are more likely to become stuck in your learning process and spend valuable study time searching for the information you need. The practice test makes it possible for you to pass the official knowledge test on your first try by conveniently providing the information you need to learn and explaining it to you in a detailed manner.
