Brake Systems
If it’s been a while since you had your brakes serviced, it’s probably time to come in and get it done. Brake system longevity depends on many factors, but the typical brake pad lifespan is about 25,000 to 65,000 miles. Stop-and-go driving is hard on your brakes. Some things you can do to maximize their life include driving slower and lightening your load, but those aren’t always practical when you’re trying to stay on schedule. Regular brake maintenance is of paramount importance.
Signs of Trouble
There are some important things to watch for with your braking system. If you hear a high-pitched squealing when you hit the brakes, it could be a sign that your brake pads are getting worn and need to be replaced. Grinding when braking is a red alert that your pads have worn out and you need to get your brakes serviced soon! Other warning signs include pulling to the left or right, unusual vibrations when braking, and a brake pedal that feels too loose when you push down on it. Your trailer brakes should also apply and release shortly before your tractor brakes. If the timing is off, it could pose a skidding risk.
