State of CA and 5 ton regs

[quickfarms]

There is no such thing as an air brake endorsement now, this was dropped when they redid the registrations about 10 years ago. There is an air brake restriction on the CDL that would prevent you from driving a vehicle with air brakes or uses compressed air in any part of the brake system.

The cost of commercial registration is based on the declared weight of the vehicle.

Sorry for my terminology. You are correct about a restriction on your license as opposed to an endorsement. End result is the same-you must take a written and a driving test for your license if you are going to have air brakes.

CA is actually a very friendly state.

The class b over 26000 lbs and class a for towing a trailer over 10000 lbs are federal requirements.

CA does have non commercial class a and b liscences for rv's.
