Steer Axle Brake Adjustment

The theory was on wet roads the tires would lock up.

 

Seems kind of silly TBH. What O/O is going to fail his own truck?

 

For real. Company i'm doing all trailer fleet maintenance bought 64 new trailers. Little things such as leveling valve stick toutching shocks, ABS sensor not plugged to no locks on axles. Im talking about bearings inside a hub not secured!!!!!

Wheel seals leaking all over the place. When lifting the trailer axle you could see the wheels drop almost for 2 inches. That freaking warranty guy as the nerve to ask me if I checked play with a dial indicator.

 

True but considering how incompetent most shops are.... and others are nothing but scam artist trying to rob you. Years ago i was leased to landstar for a short term.. their approved inpection location failed me for my power steering resevoir being damp from when i topped it off.

 

Its True- Shops simply don't care whether your safe tomorrow or not-
No Offense Northern Mechanic-

 

We had the feds inspect 50% of our trucks two years ago. I could give you a laundry list of things they missed. One truck even had broken cross members. Yes multiple but not my truck.

The majority of good owner ops will be more picky than a mechanic. They cannot afford many breakdowns and oos can really hurt relations with a customer.

 

How did you pass Air brake test?

 

Im gonna bet he was taught by some truck driving "school" to pass the test. their philosophy is: You don't have to actually understand or comprehend things, just memorize the answers to the written test.

 

There's no spring brakes on the front. They're only operated by the pedal.
