What Happens When You Don’t Do A Brake Check In California

No biggie.... easy to miss without a "sarcasm" font.

 

Here borrow this one

 

I think this is why they require us to stop at those areas, and I totally agree with that rationale. After all, most carriers don't provide their drivers with the necessary training to be certified brake inspectors so that would call into question the validity of any inspection or adjustment made by a non-certified driver.

 

Some of these companies I'm surprised they still allow the drivers to top off the oil and coolant. They wont even let them replace a bad light.

 

Bendix came out to our place and put on a class. We got together with a couple of our competitors and a couple of vendors to meet the minimum class size.
Bendix did a good job. Videos, mockups, yard practice, the whole works. They even laid on pizza and sodas at lunch time.
At the close of the day we all took a very simple test and got a little card saying we'd attended the class. It doesn't say that you're a registered brake technician or a repair man. It just gives the date of the class and other information
I checked with our local DOT guy and he said they were familiar with the Bendix class and that they'd accept the card.
