The Gross Vehicular Weight is 27,800 lbs and it does have air brakes.
It sounds like I would at least need an airbrake endorsement. I probably also need a class B....do any of you know whether that need to be a commercial or non commercial?
First thing that I need to do is get educated about how to adjust airbrakes. Does anybody have a recommendation of where I can read up on this? I have a pretty clear idea of how they work. I always drain my tanks, but it would be great to get more formal information.
Thanks for all your help

Since I have had a commercial license since I was 21, I have never checked into what is available on a "Private" license. But.....like CRB suggested.....you're money ahead to take your question to the DMV.........not to your local LEO....but to the DMV. Class "B" has always meant commercial license to me. Since you are in Kalifornia....you need to think how you do this. IF you pull a trailer behind that bus, you can expect to be pulled to the shoulder by a CHP-DOT officer and measured. IF your total length is greater than 53 feet, he will make you call a tow truck if you don't have a class "A".Originally Posted by bikemad
