    DOT Brake Check

    Posted by Tim on October 27, 2017 at 3:06 pm

    As I’m sure Jon & Tom covered in their Seminar, you should absolutely do your DOT Brake check prior to every departure.

    Eighteen months ago, Prevost replaced an interlocking valve for my emergency brake since I noticed it wasn’t engaging until 15psi.

    During my DOT Brake check while leaving the farm yesterday, I noticed my emergency brake was again not engaging until my F/R brakes hit 5-10psi. Prevost specs call for 40psi.

    Lesson: Just because you change out a part, which should last many years, doesn’t mean it won’t fail early. Unfortunately for me, the part was six months out of warranty.
