Free Wisconsin CDL Air Brakes Test 2025

The Badger State relies on drivers with the air brake qualification in such industries as dairy farming (Wisconsin is the top cheese producer in the U.S.), manufacturing (automotive, machinery, and heavy equipment), tourism (Great Lakes, Milwaukee, and Door County), and agriculture. Passing the Wisconsin DMV CDL Air Brakes Knowledge Test is essential for maximizing these job opportunities and avoiding unnecessary restrictions on your license, waiting periods, and additional fees. Failure to pass the Wisconsin DMV CDL Air Brakes Knowledge Test means your CDL will include the restriction “L,” prohibiting you from operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) with air brakes and closing the door to a long list of job opportunities. Our Wisconsin DMV CDL Air Brakes Practice Tests will prepare you for passing your knowledge exam on the first attempt.

The flat plains, rolling hills, and lakefront regions of Wisconsin demand air brake-qualified drivers. Steep grades and sharp curves and weather-related challenges like fog, high wind, and heavy snowfall present additional hazards. Key transportation routes include I-90/I-94 (running east-west across the state, connecting Milwaukee, Madison, and La Crosse), I-43 (connecting Green Bay and Milwaukee), and US-51 (running north-south, passing through rural regions, forests, and hills). Because most semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, and commercial buses rely on air brakes for safe navigation, mastering air brakes and removing the air brake restriction from your CDL are vital for expanded job opportunities.

Major companies requiring the air brake qualification include Schneider National (Green Bay) and J.B. Hunt (Madison) in the trucking industry and Badger Bus (Madison) and Lamers Bus Lines (Green Bay) in the charter bus sector. In the agriculture and dairy industry, Martin’s Milk Service, Inc. and Lemke Brothers Trucking require air brake-qualified drivers. OshKosh Corporation and The Manitowoc Company in the manufacturing and heavy equipment sector rely on the same. Many school districts in Nebraska use air brake-equipped buses. Simply put, the “L” restriction severely limits your marketability.

The written Air Brakes knowledge test features multiple-choice questions based on the state’s CDL manual (Wisconsin CDL Handbook 2025) and requires a minimum passing score of 80%. Our CDL Air Brakes Practice Tests cover everything needed for the official DMV Air Brakes Knowledge Test.
