[QUOTE="upsdavz, post: 219031, member: 9764"] I guess your right, the tug test would be against the spring brakes. we also do a test with just the spike which ensures that the brakes are working. Although in my case a 2 or three foot roll did not find the problem that I outlined earlier, it was only during a hard application that the brakes failed to apply as they should. I guess my question is more of one relating to the outside service working on the trailers. As trailers have no dvir, at least not in my centre, a driver has know idea what if any work has been done on a trailer. This is not the first time I have had problems with trailers serviced by this outside service, other examples of problems I have had are over torqued bearings ( they catch on fire ), loose wheel nuts, hub nuts only finger tight, numerous air leaks from valves not being put together correctly, air lines blowing out of fittings due to not having the furl put in etc etc..... Just wondering if this is typical, or have I a uniqe situation???? [/QUOTE]
