Safety Stand Down

I could very well know many things about you without ever having met you. Its called the "Science of Deduction". Example: Your handle and some of your verbiage in the forum implies that you are probably African American but I believe you are actually a white male in your mid to late 40's, probably slightly heavy set and short and most likely worked in the manufacturing (automotive) industry in a past life. How close am I?

 

Actually I'm a alien from another planet, my skin color is green as you can see in the picture. Yes I've worked in the auto industry, and have said so in other post. But that does not tell you anything about wether I text and drive or how many friends I have.
but getting back to the OP,
Brake check is this week. I have never been checked during brake week, but if you are moving slowly and hit you brakes hard a couple of times this will cause your brake adjusters to adjust your brakes if they are too loose. That is if your brake adjusters are operating properly.
Be sure that your abs light is functioning properly by checking it during your pretrip. It should come on briefly when you turn your ignitions switch on. Not only in the truck by on the side of the trailer.
If it comes on and stays on there is a problem or if it comes on and flashes multiple times.
A lot of times its a simple thing like a bad ground so check your pigtail and drive a short distance before calling breakdown. It may correct itself as you move.

 

I tried that on my old freightliner once didn't override the governer at all.My new 2013 has a QC that reads the message to ya while driving,as im sure yours does also

Info for those that didn't know it. All messages that don't beep 3 times in a second or so are not urgent and don't need to be read immediately. Urgent messages will continue to beep loudly 3 times every couple of minutes. You cannot turn the volume down on urgent messages, they will continue to drive you nuts until they are read. All other messages beep just once and repeat every 5 minutes quietly and the volume can be turned off on these.
Hope this helps. BTW, I haven't received anything urgent in months so don't hold your breath waiting for that urgent message.
