(industrial) air brake endorsement
To operate vehicles equipped with air brakes
on a highway, you must have a B.C. driver's licence with an air
brake endorsement.
Typical vehicles with air brakes include
dump trucks, large transport trucks (the cabs and/or trailers) and
many types of buses. Some motor homes also have air brakes.
There are two types of air brake endorsements:
On-highway — You
need this endorsement if you have a B.C. driver's licence and want
to drive air brake equipped vehicles on a highway. A highway includes
all roadways that can be used by the general public.
Off-highway (industrial) — You
need this endorsement if you want to operate air brake equipped
vehicles on industrial roads [click
for definition]. An industrial road is
most often a road used for transporting natural resources. Example:
a logging road.
