What do you actually check on a pre-trip inspection?

Can you show us a video?
What size socket?

 

Automatic slack adjusters, no need for that pesky 9/16 wrench and a collar full of gravel.

 

If you have to manually adjust auto slacks then they’re not functioning properly.

 

Drivers like this are the reason automatic slack adjusters were invented. You just can't put a steering wheel holder in control of a truck that actually has to be kept up and taken care of.

 

Wait, so do I set my brakes before adjusting my brakes???

I'm sure there's a potential $$$ making opportunity here where a guy could hold classes for 5 to 10 people that want to learn hands on some of the basics of the traditional owner operator. Changing a brake chamber, flat tire, airlines, adjusting brakes/installing brakes or any # of tasks could be taught over a weekend at $1k per head
Churning out veteran drivers in 3 days or 25% of your money back!!!

 

Someone needs a random….

 

There's 9/16 where you have to push the ring to release the adjuster and adjust. The socket pushes the ring in.

There's 5/16 or 8mm where you need a flathead screwdriver to pull the pin out to adjust.

There's 7/16 or 11mm I think it was.

There's square on drop axles.

The drop axle on my trailer is a manual with square.
