Invented in the 19th century by George Westinghouse and first employed to stop trains, air brakes were fitted to trucks and other large vehicles in the 1920’s. Since that time, air brakes have proven to be both reliable and safe. Unlike hydraulic brakes, air brakes systems work effectively over large distances in bigger vehicles and are tolerant to small leaks. With the addition of emergency spring brakes and system’s division into primary and secondary systems, air brakes have become the preferred method of stopping large vehicles such as RVs and tandem axle trucks. Like any machine however, the system is still prone to failure – often as a result of driver error or negligence. Authorities have mandated that all drivers operating air brake equipped vehicles take this course as part of their professional training. Chapters 1,2,8,9 & part of 10 from Driving Commercial Vehicles are the ICBC guides for this endorsement.

Course totals 20 hours of training: 16 hours of theory and 4 hours of practical training, practice, and evaluation. Upon completing the 16-hour weekend course, students make an appointment with CSTT Driver Training to return and complete the practical exam administered by one of the school’s instructors.
