Iowa city to start full enforcement of noise camera program to combat Jake brakes
Obnoxious users of jake brakes are finally being frowned upon in Avoca.
I recently heard a bone head shifting with his jakes on. Just dumb.

Apparently for some “Billy Big Riggers” keeping a low profile and not attracting attention isn’t a strong suit!!
That’s why some of these towns are up in arms with noise ordinances on the issue!
Me personally,if I’m passing through one of those little towns I prefer to use Level 1 and let the truck “whistle” through the neighborhood.
Some of them are smart enough to call them “engine brakes” or “compression brakes”-and for good reason-they don’t want to get sued!!
The terms “Jacob brake” and “Jake brake” is actually copyrighted by Jacobs/Cummins!lolLast edited: Sep 12, 2025
