Still don't know how to test the trailer brake without Hand Valve.

we would ALL be better off if a Western Express driver or two knew that as well, as they are in the "same league" as a Swifty, Werner Prime.....

 

i think you just berated the Western Express drivers but not including them into this foray....

you bastoid...got to your room. no supper for you tonight.....!!!

and when you get out, apologize to all the Western Express drivers....!!!

 

If they smoke on a long downgrade they work.

 

the driver or the tires ?.....

 

The brake linings start to smoke first, and then the driver. If the driver isn't a smoker I'm sure he will have good reason to start.

 

Why not, you need to do that anyway to check your brake lights.

 

so.............

how do you test your tractor brakes ?


think about this....

Use the same method to check the trailer brakes .

 

This one of my biggest pet peeves with o/o 's, they will be going along , whooooooo there 's a stop sign , so they use there trolley brake too stop with, that's why there so much black mark's at the stop sign's, then why that bug's me is, and i really don't care if they do that or not, it's there trailer tires there throwing out the door, but when they do that, there is no stop light switch on the trolley brake , so you have no stop light's , you have too be really on your game when following them, trolley brakes are nice and i'll admit too use them too slow down, lock it down too slide the trailer sliders , but i never slide the trailer's tires at stop sign, that's why swift never put them on tractors unless o/o have them,
