Full load, grades, no engine brake

I use to use them as much as you but going thru many twns that have a noise ordanance broke me of the habit because I have drove trks with real loud jakes.

 

You got told you were wrong, proved you were wrong but still stand behind your statement of

and

So according to you another way of descending a grade is to RIDE the brake all the way to the bottom of the hill and WHEN, not if, but WHEN it catches fire just keep riding...................

Anyone with an IQ above 5 knows if you take 2 objects and PRESS them together while one is moving; due to something called FRICTION it will build heat and it will continue to build heat until the objects are no longer touching.

 

A number of o/o use the trolley to burn up the company trailer brakes and save the brakes on their trucks which the o/o have to pay to replace.

 

If you do want to smoke the brakes push the clutch in!!!!!!!!

 

, and when the truck gets going waaaay toooo fast, unbuckle the seatbelt, open the door, yell "BONZIE" and jump out...

 

Test them, help me slow down, either way it applies the brakes! When Im running 70mph and enter a 55mph zone; yep I use it to slow me down!!

You use it for dumping and I use it to slow me down a couple MPH!! Would I try to go down a mountain using just that?? NEVER!! However, like I said, coming to a reduced speed area such as a town or construction zone, Yep I do use it!!

 

InstructionsMountain Driving

Apply light, steady pressure to the brake pedal so you do not overheat the brakes. Overheated brakes can result in melted air lines and a complete loss of air brakes. Avoid a hard application of the brakes. A stable breaking procedure will work better and reduce the likelihood of overheating the brakes. Driving down a mountain in a big truck can be extremely dangerous and should only be attempted by an experienced driver or with a certified instructor in the truck supervising.


As I said, there's more than one way to skin a cat. Sometimes there's more than one correct answer.
Just like it states "loss of air brakes", not spring brakes, it's reading comphrension.

Yeah, and that is why post #4 disqualifies everything you say. You just answered yourself.
