If you are caught driving a truck with air brakes and you do not have a CDL, you may face a number of consequences, including:
* Fines: You may be fined hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
* Imprisonment: In some cases, you may even be sentenced to jail time.
* Loss of your driver's license:
Your driver's license may be suspended or revoked, which will make it difficult or impossible for you to drive any type of motor vehicle.
* Difficulties finding a job: Many trucking companies require drivers to have a CDL in order to operate their vehicles. If you do not have a CDL, you may have difficulty finding a job as a truck driver.
* Increased insurance costs: If you are caught driving a truck with air brakes without a CDL, your insurance company may raise your rates.
_In addition to these legal consequences, there is also the risk of causing an accident if you are not properly trained to operate a truck with air brakes_. Air brakes are designed to stop large, heavy vehicles, and if they are not used properly, they can cause loss of control and lead to serious accidents.
**The bottom line is: If you plan to drive a truck with air brakes, make sure you have a CDL. It's not worth the risk to drive without one._
