Tractor Air Brakes
can a person with a class b cdl drive a semi tractor if not pulling a trailer that has air brakes?
Air Brakes have nothing to do with a Class "B" license. It's a weight issue.
If a commercial truck has a gross vehicle weight of 26,001 pounds or greater, you are required to have a Class "B" license to operate it. You can pull any trailer up to and including 10,000 pounds regardless of the configuration of that trailer (ball mount, goose-neck, etc.).
If that trailer is heavier than 10,000 pounds, then you are required to have a Class "A" license.
If any part of the combination, whether it be the tractor/truck or trailer is equipped with air brakes, then you would have to have the Air Brakes restriction removed from your license by taking the test in your state.
Hope this helps....
