How much brake pad must there be during your pre trip

1/4"

When you do your spring break test why can the tractor valve never pop before the trailer valve

I'm quickly coming up on my first year in trucking and I have never heard the order in which they pop mentioned. Reasoning behind it makes sense. Was that on the test in your state?

Is it ok to run over a suicide joe or a tweeker bob pushing a scooter?

Since there are no answers:-

4/32 of an inch

Once a day

Pre-trip, During Trip ( especially at each stop, it only takes one nutcase to pull your trailer release arm) and post trip.

I might add that it's wise to check your load every 3 hours or 150 miles.

You will instantly fail the pre trip if you do not say that that the tractor valve cannot pop before your trailer valve at the DMV i was tested at. Fail your pre trip and you do not even get to try your backing or road test.

When you drive a tractor trailer combination equipped with ABS, you should:

A) Use only the braking force necessary to stop and stay in control.

B) Brake the same way, regardless if you have ABS on the tractor, trailer , or both.

C) As you slow down, monitor your tractor and trailer and back off on the brakes (if it is safe to do so) to stay in control.
