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

What type of brakes are on your tractor,disc or drum?

 

You've been very helpful.

Do you understand now why I did not know before today that hub oil seal leaks can happen on the inside of the wheel? Nobody told me that at my trucking school , and I'm not psychic. A trucker does not become psychic just because he has nine years of experience.

 

Actually, I don't know for sure. But I think drum

 

Now let's hold up before we dial up the authorities. Let it be known that whilst i may drop that pos trailer, it's only to go get the service truck. Unfortunately being in my position, i wear many hats.

Often a'holè, sometimes dumbas shadetree wanna be parts replacer, but usually schmuck

I'll be back at that trailer in a minute

 

I can’t fault him for this one, even here they don’t want anyone messing with auto slacks.

 

Before today, I was only familiar with leads on the outside.

If you don't call a leak on the outside of the trailer tire a hub oil seal leak, what do you call such a leak?

 

You’re going off into the weeds with technical terms. As you’ve found, describing it how you have to mechanics in the past they know what you’re talking about.

The link I posted earlier will show you the wheel end components.

 

All the more reason you should be renamed .. Mr. Congenial. ..lol
