The Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) is an important tool that truck drivers should use regularly and take seriously.  Sometimes truck drivers fill on DVIRs without paying attention to detail.  This can lead to unnecessary truck breakdowns and an increased need of emergency truck roadside assistance.

Trucks that inspected at the roadside truck stops exhibit problems that were not found on the DVIR.  This indicates that truckers should be taking the DVIR process more seriously.

Carriers and drivers of freightliners, 18 wheelers, reefers, low boys, big rigs, heavy haulers, semi-trucks and tractor trailers all put themselves at risk for failing to properly maintain their trucks.

Truck drivers who wish to avoid roadside assistance and mobile truck repair services should perform pre- and post-trip inspections, accurate complete DVIRs and keep good records of any truck repairs made and truck parts that were used.

The DVIR report covers that following truck parts and truck accessories:

truck brakes, including trailer brake connections, truck parking brakes, truck steering mechanism, truck lighting devices and truck reflectors, truck tires, truck horn, truck windshield wipers, truck rear view mirrors, truck coupling devices, truck wheels and truck rims, as well as truck emergency equipment.

Truck safety and truck maintenance is a priority for fleets under the latest Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s new CSA 2010 program.

Drivers of tractor trailers, 18 wheelers, freightliners and big rigs are at safety risk due to driving fatigue and poor vehicle maintenance.  Truckers are encouraged to locate mobile roadside assistance whenever they feel that something is not right with their tractor trailers.  By continuing to drive their trucks rather than stopping for roadside assistance, truckers may be jeopardizing the safety, performance and life expectancy of their trucks.

Vehicle maintenance should be a priority to truckers.  Truck roadside assistance is available at plenty of locations across the United States of America.  Truck roadside assistance is available at your fingertips on the web at the Truck Roadside Assistance Directory of Mobile Truck Service providers at FixonRoad.com™.

Truck fleets are even at a greater risk of truck maintenance-related violations and are at a greater need for truck roadside assistance.

To combat the problems of serious damage to trucks that are not properly maintained, truckers are urged to call for truck roadside assistance at the onset of a problem rather than waiting until heavier damage is done.

Truck drivers should also be responsible for filling out a Driver Vehicle Inspection Report each day.

It is essential to document truck repairs and to keep track of truck maintenance and problems that truck drivers may encounter.  If your truck needs roadside assistance due to transmission problems, be sure to visit our comprehensive Truck Repair / Road Assistance Service Providers

How well do you know your truck’s transmission?  Trucks, semis, tractor trailers, 18 wheelers, big rigs, reefers, low boys and freightliners usually have manual transmissions.  Truckers prefer manual transmissions because they allow the driver to have more control of the trucks.  Nowadays, truck manufacturers also offer semi-automatic transmissions and fully automatic transmissions as well.

In the past, trucks often had twin gearshifts, generally with 4 or 5 ratios on main shift and 3 or 4 ratios on the auxiliary shift.  For the most part, semi-truck transmissions provide approximately nine or ten gear ratios.  Semi-trucks can provide up to eighteen gears.  The more gears a truck has – the finer the control of braking – especially in downhill situations and dramatic curves.

On semi-trucks with constant mesh transmission a clutch brake is required to stop the rotation of the gears.  This feature allows trucks to be put into gear without worry about gears grinding when trucks are stationary.

Maintaining truck brakes is crucial to limiting the number of truck safety hazards and accidents.  Roadside assistance and mobile truck repair services for truck brake repairs are common.  To help reduce the number of truck brake-related issues, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, and organization in the trucking industry instituted “Brake Safety Week” in which truck air brakes were checked for problems and out-of-service defects.

The Operation Air Brake campaign is part of an ongoing effort of an international truck and bus brake safety program that is focused on the improvement of commercial vehicle brake safety across North America. The Brake Safety Week occurred during the week of September 12-18 at locations across North America.

Over 30,000 trucks and buses including 18 wheelers, tractor trailers, low boys, reefers, semi-trucks, recreational vehicles, freightliners and heavy haulers were inspected during Truck Brake Safety Week.

Just under 10% of the trucks that were inspected were placed out of service for brake adjustments.  Another 8% of the trucks were placed out of service for brake components.  Nearly 15% of the trucks inspected were placed out of service for brakes.

Just imagine all of the accidents that were prevented due to the identification of faulty truck brakes during this truck air brake campaign.  It is safe to estimate that several trucks would have needed roadside mobile repair services if not for this safety campaign.

Tractor trailer safety is the focus of this FixonRoad.com™  blog entry.  Here is the question regarding trucks and anti-lock brakes:  Is it safer to have ABS on the tractor and the trailer?  Or, it is a better option to have ABS on the trailer only, when the tractor does not? 

It is clear that trucks using antilock braking systems on the tractor unit have been involved in fewer crashes for air-braked tractor-trailers.  The drop in truck accidents is estimated at approximately 3%.  This study was released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

It is still unclear whether it is beneficial for the ABS to be on both the tractor and the trailer or just on the trailer.

The study measured data taken from 7 states and takes into account the age of the tractor trailer at the time of the accident.

The latest trucking mandate requires ABS on all new air-braked vehicles with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or more.

Anti-lock brakes have the potential to influence several types of truck accidents.  Trucks with ABS see a reduction in tractor trailer jackknives, off-road truck overturns, and in collisions with other vehicles.

Trucks involved in accidents are more likely to be in need of roadside assistance.

The WRI program examines the condition of the truck through the assessment of on-board data collection.  It can also be used along side mobile enforcement vehicles to help police determine trucks that need to be pulled over for safety inspection.

The Smart Infrared Inspection System (SIRIS) is a prototype system that can scan both sides of trucks that pass for brake problems, wheel bearing issues and tire issues.  This technology is based on heat and temperature of truck components.

Truck fires may or may not be more prevalent today, but they are surely catastrophic when they occur.

In the old days, when trucks would catch fire, it was usually nothing more than burning up some wires of paint before a fire extinguisher would be used to put out the flames.  Nowadays, trucks are made of all sorts of composite materials that truck fires spread more quickly and are more difficult to put out.  Today’s truck parts are more flammable – especially cab and sleeper trim – that fires can be extremely dangerous.

Truck repair costs for fire damage have also increased.  Truck damages can range in the neighborhood of $100,000 to repair a fire ravaged truck.  Extremely hot fires can even melt the truck tires down to the ground!

The perception in the trucking industry is that truck fires are almost always started by electrical problems.  Quite simply, shorts overheat locally and then spread to flammable truck materials.

While electrical issues are often the culprit when it comes to truck fires, issues with truck wheel ends are also a major cause.  Dragging truck brakes, truck wheel bearing failures and turbo failures can also ignite fires.

Another cause of truck fires are the cargo.  Truck cargo that shifts, is not assembled properly or that is incompatible is also a potential cause for fire.

When it comes to truck transmissions, the more transmission – the better is it! Heavy Haulers generally opt for an 18-speed manual transmission

When it comes to truck transmissions, the more transmission – the better off you are!  Heavy haulers generally opt for an 18-speed manual transmission. There are also two-speed auxiliary transmissions or two-speed rear axles to choose from. These  truck transmissions provide improved startability and driveability.

Two-speed auxiliary truck transmissions double the reduction, and two-speed rear axles increase reduction by approximately 33%.

If you want to keep your truck out of the repair shop, then it is a good idea to examine driver performance.  When trying to keep truck repairs to a minimum, it is essential that truck drivers have all of the necessary truck parts to do the job.

Heavy haul truck operators have to be certain that they have as much glass area as possible and plenty of mirrors such as 4-way adjustable, cowl-mounted mirrors in addition to convex mirrors are recommended.  Mirrors may also need to be readjusted periodically to be sure that they remain aligned.

Truck parts need to be replaced often.  Windshields for example need to be replaced at least once per year.
