Here in this one place, I wanted to share with you how this phenomenon can be really bad for the company and why it is very important to pay attention to this detail that can cause some serious damage to the trucks and serious expense for the company.
Hard Braking Tears the Brakes
Tearing the brakes can be instant when hard braking is applied. It can be so aggressive that brakes can be totally worn out if they happen to be close to the replacement cycle. A situation like this can mean that truck driver needs to pull off the truck on the nearest truck stop immediately after the hard braking.
After this, there is no other way but to call the road service and replace the brakes immediately. Replacing brakes on the road by the road service instead of replacing them in the trusted truck shop can mean double than ordinary price.
Instead of paying few hundred dollars for the replacement, the cost of replacing it on the road can very quickly reach the level of one thousand dollars, so pay attention to hard braking happening on highways because it tears the brakes the most.
Hard Braking Can Wear Out The Tires Much Faster
Again, of the really expensive disadvantages of hard braking. Truck tires are especially in danger when full force is applied on the foot brake.
