This graphic, from the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, does a great job demonstrating how to measure the pushrod travel of an airbrake. Whether drums or discs, if there's a pushrod and slack adjuster, the travel needs to be measured as part of a proper driver vehicle inspection. I always preferred to do this during my post-trip inspections (except for the first day of the run, when I would do it both during the pre- and post-trip inspections). The advantage of doing it during the post-trip is that the brakes will be warm, giving a more accurate measurement as the travel is greater on warm brakes. Plus, it's closer to what an officer would see during a roadside inspection. If the pushrod travel is within specifications but just barely when the brakes are cold, there's a chance they're not compliant with warm brakes. --- Questions?

Congratulations to our carhaulers who received clean inspections in April and May, totaling three Level One inspections, 11 Level Two, and 25 Level Three. For those not in the carhaul industry, we summarize what’s involved in each inspection. ✅ Level 1: Nearly a total review of the carhauler’s vehicle, from system functions to current records, with additional driver evaluation, including health and working hours. ✅Level 2: A walk-around driver/vehicle inspection to search for topside issues or violations, not including searches underneath the truck. ✅ Level 3: A driver-only review, including information such as the driver’s license, service hours, and the driver/vehicle inspection report (Driver/Credential/Administrative Inspection). We are pleased to award these Clean Inspection Pros—from our professional company carhaulers to Independent Carhaulers—Awardco points, which can be used to purchase items from our extensive catalog based on the level of clean inspections. While safety is always important, we want to recognize these accomplishments. Thanks to everyone for making safety a priority on every drive and haul. #DrivenToDeliver #carhaulindustry #CleanInspections #SafetyFirst #SafetyAlways
