What's with the brakes?
I remember when we first got Sterlings. MANDATORY to watch CD that came with.
Even pulled driver out when he was just yard shifting in one because he hadn't watched vid.
I forget what I was doing...sleeper, other tractor or what but didn't watch. Came time to assign me one.
I insisted on watching the vid. They said they couldn't find it. "Why was it mandatory then but not now?"
"Nevermind and just drive it".

The air chambers seem to be perpendicular to the wheels as opposed to being at a 90 degree angle.

So.....if you lose your air to the trailer with these new brakes are there spring brakes that activate and stop/slow the trailer?
Good question! Has to be something. They don't roll without air supplied.
And this is exactly why there should have been a video!

Actually the air disc brakes aren't that new. Not sure the extra maintenance will be worth the extra performance. S cam drum are so much simpler and trouble free.
