hone eagle Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Phil, This was in Alberta, Canada. I believe that all Canadian provinces require air brake endorsements if the vehicle is equipped with air brakes. It is a two part system here that requires you to have in class training then a practical test. Then if you pass the practical exam they give you a completion form which allows you go write the government exam. Once you pass that the "Q" is put on your license showing you have you air brake training completed. same in Ontario only its called 'Z' endorsement is that pronounced zed or zee ? 2005 volvo 670 freedomline singledNewmar Torrey Pine 34rskswoot woot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickS Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Here is a sampling of the questions from the BC, Canada test. This is very similar to the test I wrote. Just click on Air Brake.

That's about as far from the south coast as you can get If your state doesn't require a endorsement it'd still be a very good idea to know how a air system works on a class 8 truck. I learned about air brakes on a scaled down, fully functional wall mounted unit in a class room. I have seen two, Texas DPS and Nebraska HP each had one although different versions. It would be neat to bring one to the HDT rally, but I bet they wouldn't loan one to me.

C'mon Phil, with your high profile and pull in political circles, I'm sure they would lend you one. 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

RickS Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 All the courses are done in classrooms with a air brake boards pictured below. Cost was $300.00 and I feel it was money well spent.
