Vehicle & Equipment · Driver Training VideoAir Brake Hoses & Air Leaks
Air hoses chafe quietly until they leak at speed. Drivers learn to walk the lines, check gladhand seals, run the leak test, and stop when the low-air warning sounds before pressure falls below 60 psi.
Branded with your logo & company nameWhat drivers learn
Your truck runs on air
The compressor builds pressure, stores it in the tanks, and pushes it out through hoses to the brake chambers on every wheel.
Those lines take a beating
They flex every time you turn and run close to the tandems and frame rails, where road grit gets thrown up into them at highway speed. A hose that chafes against metal doesn't fail all at once — it wears thin, then cracks, then leaks.
Walk the lines
Look for cracks, bulges, and any spot where a hose rubs against the frame, another hose, or the fifth wheel. Check every gladhand seal — the rubber gasket where the hoses couple is a common leak point once it's cracked or missing.
Know your warning points cold
The low-air warning has to activate before pressure drops below 60 psi — that's your signal to stop safely, not a suggestion to finish the trip first. Keep losing air past that point and the spring brakes on the drive axle and trailer apply on their own before the tanks run dry.
Your company standard: any air leak you can hear, see, or feel during your pre-trip gets fixed before the truck leaves the yard — no exceptions for a "small" hiss. Any hose showing a chafe mark, crack, or bulge gets replaced, not taped or wrapped.
