Major Brake Violation

and that can bleed down your pressure real fast. wonder if he had the line blocked to prevent that. Gonna need to get on the tractor brakes hard to stop a loaded trailer, would run out of air fast.

 

If u think the trailer breaks work without the blue line then take off the blue line and drive around the truck stop and do some braking and report back how much long it takes u to stop. Multiply that to highway speeds and we have disaster waiting to happen. Also what is a 90 degree turn. ?

 

Honest question. How can someone , knowingly, operate a truck without brakes?????? Are you #### kidding me???
I can bet you money , that MF run for pennies. That type of people doesn’t deserve to have a license nor to operate a vehicle Ever!!! Because of them, the gov find excuses to f us over with regulations .
As an owner operator, I must keep my equipment in the best condition as possible to the best of my knowledge, which is expensive, therefore I refuse to haul for less than 3.00 per mile . I REFUSE IT !!!!

 

Red = Releases
Blue = Brakes

Isn’t this covered in truck driving school?

 

The way those air lines are setup on that truck in the picture, they are quick disconnect air lines at the deck plate. So when disconnected at the plate, no air comes out.

 

Hey driver, is your service break air line on vacation?

 

It is still much cheaper and a lessor violation than a falsified log .

 

I had to bobtail back 150 miles today with all my drivers brakes caged, I did have steer axle brakes had I needed them. lol. I am glad the scale was closed.
