    our trucks all have disc on all axles
    half our trailers are disc just changed pads on trailers at 500000 miles
    never changed any on the trucks before they are traded in

    They don't drive me crazy, I scrape them off before I pull out of the scale because each new one I get is another $50 on my paycheck. DOT see's current CVSA sticker and sends me on my way, I want him/her to crawl under the truck so I can get paid.......

    I don't have ocd as far as I know, and I'm not so sure I like looking at them in my windshield. By the way, maybe you know. I drove a truck last week that had a cvsa sticker like all the others 1, 2, 3 but this one had a "5" on it. You know anything about that?

    Well, I guess it would help to be inspected first and learn that. I'm still waiting. After years.

    So when the brakes are set I assume they have some sort of spring system clamping the pads against the discs? I had heard of some companies trying steer axle disc systems, but I had no idea anybody had them on drives or trailers.
