If relying on various other on-line resources has left you feeling like being stranded atop the North Cascades, our Air Brakes practice test series can rescue you. Air brakes are an essential safety feature on most commercial vehicles, and having an air brakes restriction on your Washington commercial driver’s license (CDL) limits your job prospects. You should make certain that the training you receive to remove this restriction is reliable. This third free CDL Air Brakes practice test takes the guesswork out of learning the ropes. You will experience a streamlined learning process that rapidly enhances your driving skills.

Our CDL Air Brakes practice test produces exceptional results, helping you understand and absorb critical information pertaining to air brake system operations. Removing the air brake restriction requires you to pass an official Air Brakes knowledge test and a skills test demonstrating your ability to inspect and operate the system. By answering 80% of the 25 questions on the official knowledge test, you will achieve the minimum required passing score. The practice test works to identify the barriers to your success. It contains questions similar to the ones on the official knowledge test to assess your current knowledge level. Based on your results, the practice test will direct you to the information that requires further study and explain it in easily understood terms.
