Does your home jurisdiction require air brake endorsement?
Are there jurisdictions about the continent that allow people to drive air brake equipped vehicles without any type of training or license endorsement?

There is often people posting questions about their air brake systems and their lack of basic knowledge of how they work is sometimes scary. Air brake systems are more complex than regular juice brake systems and do require a basic understanding of how they work, and how they should be maintained.I have heard people say "how many old folks can climb under their rig and set up their brakes?" It is not the fact that they can't do it is it more like they should know it needs to be done periodically and have it done for them. There is a very valid reason why commercial drivers need air brake training, and it is a little more than just pushing a pedal. Even hydraulic brakes have there limitations with a big class a and certain road conditions and not knowing you can overheat the brake fluid can lead to a scary or worse situation.
