Nebraska is a great state for commercial driving with lots of wide-open roads, and a huge need for products to travel into and out of the state. While there are many truck drivers in the state, you have the opportunity today to study something that can set you apart: air brakes. Passing the air brakes exam and having a CDL without an air brakes restriction means that you are less limited than many other CDL holders in Nebraska. The questions on this practice test are designed to get you comfortable with the format of the real exam, as they are multiple-choice, and the topics you will face, since they are based closely on information straight from the Nebraska Manual for Commercial Driver’s Licensing. Study here, practice here as often as you need to, and good luck on your exam!
