[QUOTE="mattwtrs, post: 342519, member: 1187"] Right after we started hauling doubles in Pa. I was turning around and while I was on lunch my dolly disappeared. There was only 1 dolly that wasn't red tagged or hooked up to someone else's tractor so I pretripped it and the gap between the brake shoe pads & brake drum was quite large so I took it to the trailer shop. I had received some extra pointers in Ohio by a fellow driver who hauled triples. He told me that the gap shouldn't be any more than the thickness of the paper time card. One trailer mechanic said he never heard a driver could check the brake adjustment. The shop supervisor walked in and confirmed my Ohio friends pointer. All the mechanics on duty were trained while I waited. Why weren't they trained before that?? [/QUOTE]
