1 . If a trailer's spring brakes do not release when you push the tractor air supply control, you should:
Drive normally without checking anything.
It is important that all of your vehicle's equipment is in proper working condition before you begin a trip. If a trailer's spring brakes do not release when you push in the tractor air supply control, you should make sure the air line connections are properly attached and sealed.
2 . Air pressure in the ____ air line is controlled by either the foot brake or trailer hand brake.
Auxiliary
Air pressure in the service air line is controlled by either the foot brake or trailer hand brake. The service air line is also known as the control line or signal line. This line is connected to relay valves, which allow the trailer brakes to be applied more quickly than would otherwise be possible.
3 . Starting in which year were newly manufactured trailers required to have ABS?
2004
All trailers and converter dollies manufactured on or after March 1, 1998 must be equipped with Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS).
4 . An air supply control in its "emergency" position will:
Accelerate the vehicle.
Tractor protection controls in older vehicles may be operated by levers instead of knobs. If an air supply control is set in its "emergency" position, the air supply will be stopped and the trailer emergency brakes will be applied.
5 . ____ are the cause of more than half of all accident-related truck driver deaths.
Pedestrians
More than half of all accident-related truck driver deaths are a result of truck rollovers. To help prevent a rollover, be sure to load cargo low to the ground and centered on your rig. Take corners slowly and carefully.
6 . A lightly-loaded combination vehicle will stop more slowly than a fully-loaded vehicle because:
The suspension springs only operate when a trailer reaches a minimum weight.
An empty combination vehicle will come to a complete stop more slowly than a fully-loaded vehicle. The stiff suspension springs and strong brakes will have lower traction on a light trailer than they would if the vehicle carried more weight.
7 . To help prevent rollovers, you should:
Keep the load on one side of the trailer.
