As far as I can remember, the only additional written test you'dbe required to take at the DMV would be Combination Vehicles.However, if you wanted to upgrade your license without having to gothrough a driving school/CDL course, you've had to get a BPAlicense (Class B license, learner's permit for Class A) first to beable to train in a Class A vehicle. You would have to find someonecertified to be a Class A instructor (usually through a company),and a company which would allow you to both train in their vehicleand provide you with that vehicle for the hands-on tests you'd berequired to take at the DMV (road test, pre-trip, etc.).
This is a bit unlikely, and chances are that you will have to gothrough a complete CDL course, the same as anyone with a Class C/Dlicense does who wishes to upgrade to a Class A. Your localcommunity college can provide you with more informationon this.

I can't help but think that something is missing from the question. Could you review it and post the completed question? As for me, personally, yes, I can. I have a Class A CDL, and no air brake restriction. Read More
Can you use your employer 26 foot box truck with air brakes to take the CDl road test?
Air brakes are not a factor in determining whether or not a vehicle requires a CDL. As for your employer's box truck, the length doesn't matter - the weight rating does. If it has a weight rating of 26,000 lbs. or less, it won't be useful in helping you get a CDL. If it's rated at more than 26,000 lbs. GVW, it can only be used to get a Class B CDL, unless you're attaching… Read More
Do you need a cdl to use air brakes in VA?
Only on vehicles which require a CDL to be driven. Recreational vehicles, rental trucks under 26,000 lbs.

Do you need an air brake endorsement for a vehicle under 26000 pounds with air brakes in the state of New Hampshire?
There is no actual air brake endorsement - if you test for a Commercial Drivers Licence (CDL) and either fail the written portion, don't road test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes, or both, you get an L restriction, prohibiting you from operating a commercial vehicle with air brakes. The only times you need a CDL for a vehicle or combination under 26,000 lbs. GVWR is if it's either carrying hazardous materials in a… Read More
Do you need an air brake endorsement for an RV in NY?
There is no air brake endorsement. For better or worse (I tend to think worse), non-CDL vehicles have no additional criteria for the use of air brakes. For someone testing for a CDL, they must take the written air brakes test and perform their road test in an air brake-equipped vehicle, or else they get a restriction which prohibits them from operating any air brake-equipped vehicle which requires a CDL (this does not apply to… Read More
Do you have to have a CDL to drive a f-750 with air brakes in the state of Texas?
The F-750 is sold as a Class 6 truck with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. - which puts it under CDL requirements. However, it is actually a Class 7 truck (and the newer ones are Class 8) with axle weight ratings of up to 35,000 lbs. So whether the one in question needs a CDL or not depends on a couple factors. If it's registered as a vehicle with a 26,000 lbs… Read More
