What is Air Brake

Air brakes are used mostly in commercial vehicles, mainly those with trailers that must be linked into the brake system, such as trucks, trailers, buses, and semi-trailers. Also, these brakes are used in railroad trains. The air brake system on a commercial motor vehicle, or semi-truck as commonly referred to, uses compressed air to create friction to slow the wheel down. The system uses air as a source of power and as the supply of air is in abundance, this is considered more reliable as compared to the hydraulic brake system which is used in smaller vehicles.

What is the difference between Q-Endorsement and Air Brake Course

Anyone willing to operate a vehicle equipped with Air Brakes has to do complete a Training Course from a recognized School. In Alberta, Air Brake Certification is called Q-Endorsement as you might have information that in Ontario this certification is called z-endorsement.
