Grigg,

I have heard that many times too, about needing a CDL with air brakes.

But one day I wanted to find out for sure. I called VA DMV and the woman there told me that as long as the truck has 26,000 lbs or under, she didn't care what kind of brakes it had.

I have never called DMV back to double check her statement, but just wondering if that is a rumor that has stuck around here in Virginia. She may just be right, we really may not need one.
