[QUOTE="grgrcr88, post: 786116, member: 16611"] Why should I have to deal with it. They are so loud that it actually hurts my ears to the point of having headaches and making my eyes squint when I put on the brakes. They were properly burnished when installed so that is not the issue. The problem is that UPS has found the cheapest possible brake linings they could buy. They are so hard that they do not wear down at all. It is basically metal on metal from day one of their installation. It's so bad that the rotors are being destroyed instead of the brake pads. I just don't understand the logic of saving a few bucks on brake pads but spending several hundred to replace the roters instead, in the mean time causing severe discomfort for your employee as well as all the customers within a 200 yard radius!!! I would love to hear from every person that drives a workhorse to compile a mass of evidence to my safety coordinator so something can be done about this, short of calling OSHA and filling a complaint for excess noise violations!! I think that is my next step though!! [/QUOTE]
