Air Brakes Semi

  This blog will cover the air brake system. 

  1.  Air Compressor.  It pumps air into the air storage tanks (reservoirs).  It is connected to the engine through

            gears or belt. Air Compressor may be air cooled or by the by the engine cooling system.  It may have its own oil supply, or be lubricated by engine oil. If the comressor has its own oil supply,

check it before driving.

  2.   Air Compressor Govenor.  Govenor controls when the air compressor will pump air into the air storage

               tanks.  When air tank pressure rises to the "cut-out" level (around 125 pounds per square inch.

              The govenor stops the compressor from pumping air.  When the tank pressure falls to the "cut-in"

              pressure (around 100 psi), the govenor allows the compressor to start pumping again.

  3.  Air Storage Tanks.  All storage tanks are used to hold compressed air.  The number and size of air tanks varies among                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 . The tanks will hold enough air to allow the brakes to be used several  times even if the compressor stops working.

  4.  Tank Drains.  Commpressed  air has some water and some oil  in it.  To drain, each tank has a valve to release built up water in the tank.  It is reccomended you drain it every week. To keep contamination, rust out.

  More to come.

Hazmat and enhanced Identification and TWIC

  When I got my CDL it was in 07.  Back then, the laws were not as strict for traveling across the

border's.  The laws were intended to keep the bad guys out, while continuing the services rendered.

   Bad guys slither through the areas not covered by security, they have no paperwork hoops to jump

  through.   The only people feeling hardship are the honest hardworking middle class!

  Seems to me if you want the bad guys out, why not make it easier for the good guys to come in

and out?  My proposition.   Make it mandatory for each service member in the military, to get TWIC,

 HAZMAT, and enhanced ID.  For the retired folks arrange a way for them to get it subsidized.
  
     Strict laws mean nothing if they just restrict movement, of a law abiding populace.
