Most semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, and commercial buses rely on air brakes for safe navigation. Therefore, securing a CDL without the air brake restriction is an absolute priority for anyone wanting to expand their job opportunities. Without passing the Wyoming DOT CDL Air Brakes Knowledge Test, your CDL will include the restriction “L,” preventing you from operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) with air brakes. This restriction closes the door to a long list of jobs. A one-day waiting period and retest fee (should you decide to take it again) will result if you fail the air brakes knowledge test. Our Wyoming DOT CDL Air Brakes Practice Tests will help you pass your knowledge exam on the first attempt.

The steep grades of Wyoming’s Rocky Mountains and high plains, the long highways with sparse services, and the winter snow, ice, and high winds, demand reliable braking systems and air brake-qualified drivers for heavy CMVs. Key transportation routes include I-80 (an east-west highway crossing the Rocky Mountains), I-25 (a north-south route connecting to Colorado and Montana), and US-287 (a route through mountainous areas).

About the Wyoming CDL

The Equality State relies on drivers with the air brake qualification in key industries, including energy, agriculture, tourism, and freight. Major companies requiring drivers with this qualification include Peabody Energy, Halliburton, and ExxonMobil in the energy and mining industries; and JBS and Wyoming Beef in the agriculture sector. XPO Logistics, FedEx Freight, and UPS are major companies requiring air brake-qualified drivers in the freight and logistics sector. In the tourism and charter bus industry, Greyhound, Wyoming Stage Lines, LLC., and Alpenglow Tours are major companies whose buses are equipped with air brakes for passenger transportation as well as the hundreds of Wyomingfull-size school buses. The “L” restriction makes all these jobs unattainable.

Based on the state’s CDL manual (Wyoming CDL Handbook 2025), the written Air Brakes knowledge test features multiple-choice questions and a minimum passing score of 80%. Our CDL Air Brakes Practice Tests cover all essential knowledge for the official DOT Air Brakes Knowledge Test. The material covered will also be useful as you prepare to pass your skills test. Additionally, our practice tests mimic the official knowledge test and offer real-time feedback on all responses. This immediate display of feedback is scientifically proven to help you learn faster and ensure you pass the test.
