About to go solo ,how do I check the brake lights?

Nothing,also some things are common since and shouldn't have to be taught.

 

why would i walk to back of the truck

 

Exercise!

 

I use the weight of a 5th wheel puller on the johnny bar.

 

Why not just park up against a wall or window and shine the lites then you can see the reflection right from the comfort of your trk.

 

for the same reason the officer does


You make things simple and wait til dark to do your pre-trips by flash light .. then all you'd have to do to check brake lights is step on pedal and look in the mirrors.. then call road service for any bulb replacements or ground problems..

 

I'm so fast that before the Johnson bar releases, I've already checked the brake lights and filled out the log book

 

I though that was why you carried a dog, he pushes the brake and flips the lights.

How do you measure slack adjuster travel by your self?

 

Push your brake pedal to the floor, open your door, jump out and run like heck to the rear of the trailer
