Brakes are the single largest category of out-of-service violations in roadside inspections, and pushrod stroke beyond the adjustment limit is the most common finding. It is also the most consequential system on the vehicle by a wide margin.
The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.
Brakes are the single largest category of out-of-service violations in roadside inspections, and pushrod stroke beyond the adjustment limit is the most common finding. It is also the most consequential system on the vehicle by a wide margin.
Out-of-service orders that strand a load, CSA scores that affect insurance and contracts, and extended stopping distances that turn an avoidable incident into a collision.
Every 25,000 miles or quarterly, whichever comes first, and always before the annual inspection. Measure and record lining thickness rather than eyeballing it — the number is what proves the check happened.
This procedure — and every other PM for your industry — is already built into ChatterFix. Pick your industry and it lands on the right equipment, on the right interval, in about three minutes.
