My Brakes Won't stop Me !!!!

Sound's like you would make a great flight instructor! lol

 

The commercial vehicle inspection unit does that quite often down here.

They use a little handheld thermometer thingie that paints a lazer dot, pointing it at each drum in turn. If either there's anything except a minimal temp difference between the drums on either side of an axle or any in an axle set they'll crawl underneath to do a proper inspection, otherwise they'll wave you forward to the scales.

Quite efficient really.

 

I'd run off a cliff than apply my air brakes, throw a rope out the window,and slide down to the ground.

 

I think Mr Ed got it, I just reviewed all of my Bugs Bunny cartoons and saw him get out of a crashing airplane with that method. Air brakes, then just climb out. I think Yosemite Sam would just yell "WHOA, MULE!!!" I'll get back after reviewing a few episodes of McGyver to see if he had any similar problems.

 

Friggin' McGyver would stop a truck with dental floss and some toothpicks.....

 

LMAO

a long time ago when I worked for Stevens, and we couldn't use jake's going down hill... so we turned on the engine fan, the a/c, anything to draw power away from engine..

but once you get going there's no stopping ya

love all the responses!

 

thats not going to happen to any of us cause;
1 broke over the hill at the right speed
2 never overrunn the jake
3 know better than to think the brake will hold

4 or if we're on the eastern seaboard chainin' up and powerin' down thru the deep snow

 

They ought to have a fifth wheel release in the tractor - I saw one in a movie once - Just hope you have enough trailer brakes left - Pull the release, apply trailer brakes, accelerate (if possible), and leave your troubles behind you!

 

priceless thanks Mr Ed

 

Wait for a good cliff, open the door and as you jump out begin singing "Gonna fly like an eagle"
