Do You Need Cdl For Rv With Air Brakes. And the good news is in the majority of cases no you do not need a special license to drive an rv. Air over hydraulic brakes and you are applying for your first cdl you will be given a z. With a chauffeurs license one can operate a truck up to your rating with air brakes.
Having a endorsement allows you to operate air brakes on a single axle with any gvw but you need a cdl to operate a tandem or a combination vehical. A truck with a gvw of 26 000lbs is pretty close to being useless to carry any heavy loads legally you could only carry 4 ton on a f 650 where a f 550 can darn near do the same legally.
I know in my state a cdl is not required for a rv that is being used as a recreation vehicle.

No form of airbrakes and you are applying for your first cdl you will be given an l restriction. If you have a cdl with an l restriction and you test in a vehicle with air over hydraulic brakes you will be upgraded from an l to a z restriction.
