i work in a trucking co. I noticed that when a straight truck backs in they stop just before the dock plate. i hear a noise, they let out air, i think, and then they back up when all the air is out, then i put the dock plate. how and why.
@123aponte you do need to press the clutch to start a truck depending on the truck you are starting. Some tractors like older Sterlings you have to, some Volvos I've driven had to and some Freightliners I have driven I had to. Not to mention if the tractor is in gear. I always leave my truck in gear when I shut it down.
@123aponte Newer truck mods require you to press the clutch before you can start it, like a passenger car, i drive a freightliner cascadia and i have to press the clutch.
In the beginning when you "let of some pressure" You applied the service brake while the maxi's where applied is that considered "compounding" the brakes I know 3 people that failed there test because of this.thanks
While your statement is true, it does not consider the occasional "truck-in-gear" scenario that may cause vehicle to "jump" while trying to start it thus for safety purposes we recommend to press on the clutch before attempting to start your truck. Thanks for watching!
We did not quite understand what you intended to point out but thank you for watching. Remember this video is a snaphot of a complete inspection video that we have at the school.
you didn,t exsplain the air test the release valve is sopose to kick of at 117 to 137 lbs you did,t say that your supose to hold the brake pedal for one minute if you have air leak if you don,t have air leak no nead to hold brake pedal for one minute you still have much more to do to complete air test i think you need more training good luck.
