Brakes and roadside inspections: What the 20% rule means and how to keep your truck on the road
Brake violations discovered during roadside inspections have been the No. 1 out of service violation since forever but fleet operators do have a little - very little - wiggle room with the 20% rule - a rule that can keep a truck and/or trailer on the road as long as less than 20% of certain components of vehicle's service brakes are NOT defective.
In a tractor-trailer combination, you’ve got 10 brakes. So the simple math is that as long as 9 of those 10 brakes are functioning properly, and the one faulty brake doesn’t affect the rest of the truck, the truck isn’t placed out of service.

Its time for truckers to rise up and say fuck the 3 letter organizations tellimg us what we can and cant do on our off time ! They cant stop us ! We run the country !

Alcohol Is way worse and has no medical benefit. Weed should be treated at least as equal as alcohol if not better.
The Air Nazi's at CARB are just figuring out more ways to LOOT the trucking industry
HVO is chemically identical to petroleum diesel? Then why does it have such high cetane numbers? Why does it perform so superior? Why does it produce less Nox emissions? It is interesting that the Air Nazi's at CARB have no idea. You would think somebody would pose and answer these questions? Why is it, that biodiesel blended into the petroleum diesel actually lowers the quality of the diesel fuel? When HVO is blended into ULSD in any amount it improves the fuel quality? Who are the only two players that make any money from the sale of refined liquid petroleum fuels? Once you figure that out you should be able to also figure out that neither one of those players want to see improved fuel economy. Renewable diesel is only price competitive with petroleum because the Air Nazi's at CARB are subsidizing its cost with California taxpayer dollars. You folks at CCJ should do more homework before producing this 10 44. Your explanations are very poor.

Wish they would do more insulation on the cab itself to keep the engine heat and heat from the sun out of the interior. My 2023 volvo vnl860 gets ridiculously hot inside the cab on a hot florida summer day

In the UK weed Vs your ability to drive is done with a roadside mouthswab by the police. This determines whether or not you have recently used, as opposed to "have used at some point". But even this isn't necessarily a determination of impairment, rather a guess based on whether you smoked recently enough for a bad swab result.
They going to still our jobs. Robots going to take over.
I love renewable diesel, give us more. My F450 is more green than your Prius!
Hello. I will volunteer an impairment test for the safety of the innocent locomotive public for these ovulating idiots. Attention testing. Anyone stoned will allow their mind to escape down a tangential rabbit hole and lose focus on paying attention. Distractions that result in drivers not concentrating on all aspects of driving increase the possibility of an accident. The discipline to remain focused does individually exist. Detrimentally to such a test, medical cannabis can aid certain drivers in clarity of focus. The only true test is behind the wheel to observe impairment, if any. Conducting a live driving test is the only honest measure of cannabis impairment. ✌️
I’m curious as to what the difference in weight is in a vehicle like this compared to a standard class 8 semi? That said it is great for local applications and maybe regional but long haul is a game they can’t play.
Loving it!!!! I wanna drive one❤
I want to see the law makers interview 2 people one after 2 hours of drinking alcohol and the other one after smoking cannabis for 2 hours and see how stupid it is to have alcohol legal and marijuana illegal
Another way to tell you you don't deserve a raise even though what you're doing never led to an accident. Deny raises and keep a bigger bonus for themselves.
So that means the cocaine/meth/opiod users had to have used while driving 100% 🙄
If I can be trusted as an adult to not drink alcohol I should also be trusted not to smoke weed while driving. 🙄
Sadly it’s cheaper to buy an engine than that oil. WTF?!
why not just a regular diesel cummins where am going to find cng on the road
How long will Isuzu EV truck reach Malaysia❓😂
I suggest the guy with the red beard develop a personality, other than that of an asshole.
I will not work for a company with cameras facing drivers. Driving in general is no longer a job I want to do. I hope more and more people stop driving for companies with these cameras. Before I even consider working for a company soliciting my labor I ask if they have these cameras.
Pot smokers smoke all the time, driving or not!
I know not everybody is like me, but I think the Isuzu cabover trucks are some of the cutest vehicles on the road. :)
Testing is fine if it's limited to tests that can detect if you are currently on it not just testing for metabolites from a month ago.
Mormon 🙏⛪ scam compagny Nikola Motor bankrupt xmas 2024 😂😂😂
Yeah it was preventable. The car should have not been an idiot. I'm not even a truck driver and I think the "opinion" that this was preventable on the truck driver's part. This channel is a joke.
The cameras on the top/right side of the sleeper, are in direct line of where tree limbs smack trucks a few hundred times a year. Maybe if they had only asked an actual driver some questions when designing. They’ll find out 😂
So you could drink alcohol and be shitfaced and have a hangover the next morning and that’s OK but you can’t smoke a nice joint after work and come back to work nice and refreshed this world makes no sense. I wonder what idiot made this law in the first place.
Let us smoke some damn weed after work
Smoking weed after work will not affect me the next day at work this is ridiculous
We have cameras facing in and out, they have been a life saver.
Cannabis is much safer than alcohol.
Alcohol kills more people then all other drugs combined. It's time to stop the lies about cannabis.
it's such bullsh+t, with every driver removed from the seat, another inexperienced driver takes their place and probably consumes THC until they get caught, or the person doesnt get replaced at all and our supply chain is further crippled. i wonder what the statistics are? how many of them that got caught strictly consumed OFF duty vs how many were rolling down the road with the window down and a joint in their hand. i bet by and large, vast majority were just consuming a little after a long day. it some point the laws are going to have to change if we want anything on store shelves.
Kenworth didn't do nothing but create junk. The first recap on the road will rip that ridiculous looking front end. You people amaze me with the stupid things you come up with. Ugliest truck on the market.
Like the idea for efficiency but I just don't want to shove down our throats from California carbs is the problem
4 wheeler wasn't white
The issue is: was the truck holding up traffic? He was in the left lane for how long? The car driver is at fault for hitting the truck, however was the truck going 10 mph for 1 and a half miles looking for his turn? Truck may be guilty of upsetting the harmony of traffic.
Yes it was preventable... if the Porsche driver hadn't been so arrogant and tried to go around the truck!
If you feel like this was preventable on the truckers part. You shouldn't be driving
If you try to say this was preventable om the truckers part, you're flat out stupid amd shouldn't be diving
The preventable ruling on this accident is ridiculous. Now you’re telling us we have to be mind readers too. There is no way Doe could have or should have known the car behind him would try to pass on his right going into a 2 lane road. He has to watch where he’s going, and watch his trailer so as not to hit the other car waiting at the light. How could he possibly know the other car would be stupid. Plus even if he saw him just before he got hit there was nothing he could have done. I’ve been driving for 29 years and I’m gonna say that whoever called this preventable has no experience in a truck.
Absolutely preventable by various human actions.
This is going to be huge for companies like CLNE that sell the fuel.
A blow out will be ugly
Imagine the damage of just the tread peeling off one of those front tires. Also how is a tech supposed to change a flat?
Should have stayed motionless until the door was raised.
