Failing the Wisconsin DMV CDL Air Brakes Knowledge Test retains a limitation on your commercial driving career in the form of an “L” restriction on your commercial driver’s license (CDL). This restriction prohibits you from driving vehicles equipped with air brakes. Failing the test also forces you to wait a minimum of one day and pay an additional retest fee. The “L” restriction closes the door to lucrative driving opportunities across Wisconsin’s major sectors, including dairy farming and agriculture, heavy machinery transport, manufacturing and construction, tourism, and school and charter transport. Our Wisconsin CDL Air Brakes Practice Tests are based on state and federal law and the official Commercial Driver’s Manual and mimic the format of the official exam. We provide all the tools (described in detail below) you need to pass the official exam on your first attempt!
Based on the official WI CDL HandbookHandbook‑based (2025) + exam‑taker feedback
Here in America’s Dairyland, most Class A and Class B commercial trucks use air brakes for safety and compliance. Manufacturing hubs in Green Bay, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, and Oshkosh move heavy freight via tractor-trailers that require precise air brake control. Tourism routes throughout Door County and along Lake Michigan and the Wisconsin Dells often include steep grades, lakeside winds, fog, and winter conditions that demand air brakes. Wisconsin’s winter snowfall, slick roads, and high winds along I-90/I-94, I-43, and US-51 create situations where safe air brake handling is critical.
Major Wisconsin employers like Badger Bus, J.B. Hunt, Lamers Bus Lines, Schneider National, and agricultural and dairy logistics carriers like Lemke Brothers Trucking and Martin’s Milk Service routinely require air brake-qualified drivers. Make no mistake, securing the air brake qualification is an enormous step toward a much larger job pool.
The Air Brakes Knowledge Test consists of 25 multiple-choice questions based on Section 5 of the CDL Manual and requires a minimum score of 80% to pass. Our practice tests provide instant AI-driven feedback, and our experts have worked hard to eliminate unnecessary fluff from the study materials and focus on the materials you need to pass the exam. Our practice tests also feature an interactive CDL Manual as well as our state-of-the-art Challenge Bank, designed to repeat any questions you miss until you’ve proven mastery of the material.
