actually you dont need a CDL to drive an Air brake vehicle.  
Only if its over 26,001 pounds or have passengers

It’s a good idea to LEARN how to do a air brake test. CDL or Not.  
atleast Drain yer tanks :bigok:

You definitley need a cdl for that straight truck.

How can you tell? My uncle has a couple of trucks similar to that truck, a couple Mercedes, 1 International, and I think 1 Ford that are all non-CDL trucks.

I think it’s the picture that is making it look bigger than it is, I’m willing to bet thats a 22 or 26ft Non-CDL straight truck.

i just googled the truck. that’s the same cab as the truck i drive, but i’m not sure that the box is the same size. the truck i drive fits twelve pallets, if that gives you an idea of it’s size/capacity. It’s an Internatiolal 4700, with air brakes. Should I take a tape measure and also note the GVWR the next time I go up? lol.
