level 1 out of service yet not out of service

Was it a new young buck from the NDHP? Lol! I was placed OOS back in 03 on the Garrison dam with 6 axles total. Had 3 brakes out of adjustment. He let me adjust them and roll. Just depends on what kind of day they're having I guess.

 

Let us know what the response ends up being. I had a chamber on the tractor that they found a slow leak on. They placed out of service and made us do a road call to replace before heading out. But with this 80% rule now I wonder if it should be challenged? Never had heard of that.

One time a driver didn’t have his eye glasses with him and they gave him an out of service but let him go. Of course showed up on the report as OOS.

Can be frustrating sometimes! Sometimes when you have a string of bad luck you almost want to get pulled in and inspected because your score doesn’t reflect how hard you work at it and invest in equipment.

 

That’s incorrect. Get a copy of the NASOOSC and you will find that the 20% does not include non- mfg holes in the SB chamber.


End of 20 Percent Brake Criterion
c. Spring Brake Chambers
Any non-manufactured holes or cracks in the spring brake housing section of a parking brake. (396.3(a)(1))

 

Hole in the SB side of the chamber is not within the 20% criteria. One is OOS.

 

Exception being steer brake. I found out once.Steer had 1 steer more than 1.75” slack ( max for 20/20 chambers)

 

I agree you should contest if it shows up as OOS on Safestat

 

They let you roll cause you fixed problem. I’ve had Same once with 1 steer

 

Crazy how in depth they go with otr truckers. They don’t do that stuff locally. Never had a cop check my dash lights. Everyone I know pulls the bulb on abs light. Working in construction and running over stone, all our tires are missing chunks
