Dont blame me bud, you signed up for pretrips or being responsible for failure to do them when you applied for the license.

Theres a lot of innocent kids on the road. Screw the ELD.. Thats not making the road safer.. But stay ontop of your brakes for their sake. Nothing more important than stopping a truck.

Crawl under there and have a look like youre supposed to driver.

Youre gonna find a few sets of shoes not touching the drum. It may look like it until you touch and they wiggle freely. Now feel the 1/4" lip inside your drum that makes it LOOK like theyre in contact.

The slacks need adjustment. Once theyre all adjusted evenly, keep note. The slacks that do this again soon need replaced as they arent keeping pace with the shoe wear like the others.
