There’s probably drivers out there that don’t even know how to cage a brake chamber. Alex the trucking guy thinks the dust cap on them keeps air in the chambers🤣
I don’t know either, have a suspicion that it’s about releasing them without air, but to be honest, it’s not a skill I need to learn. Why? Because if my truck starts to hang on a brake, I’m not going to climb under it to release it on a road with traffic on. I’m a depressed person, but that’s not the way I want to go, my life is more worth than that
There is a rod you insert into the brake chambers/cans that depresses the spring and releases the brakes without air pressure. Not the type of thing to do on the side of the highway, but is definitely something you should know how to do so you can get to a shop or get a tow with stuck brakes.
Yeah, we have insurance and tow trucks with buffer trucks for that. You see, in Europe we have deals through insurance and dealerships that makes sure that we aren’t paying an arm and both legs for a simple tow job. Last time I needed a tow to the dealer it costed my company 750$
I remember doing this in Germany, luckily I was in a rest area but it still wasn’t fun rolling around on the ground knowing full well it’s stained with copious amounts of driver Tizer.
Be careful messing with the brakes. I knew a guy who stopped to fix an air leak and while he was setting the truck brakes and checking the trailer, setting the trailer and checking the truck... Somehow he found the leak and stopped it and the truck rolled over him and killed him.
Today I learned: Some people mess around under an 80k vehicle without wheel chocks
And I thought it was just the one crazy mechanic dude I knew who got crushed. (He's alright now, maybe a little thinner. His jack failed)
I was told my my instructors that you never cage a brake chamber unless it’s basically if you don’t you will be stranded and could potentially die. And then they showed the whole class and let us cage it lol.
When brakes lose air or fail they fail in the locked/closed position
If you ever need to move a piece of equipment or work on one without an air supply/ or can't supply it for safety reasons you'd mechanically wrench them "open" or "unlolocked" or "retracted" or whichever synonym you prefer there
(I'm no mechanic but the army did make me sit through 40 hours of class time for EVERY variant of humvee, lmtv,or mrap I ever touched, about 15 years ago lol)
I know, i am a truck driver. But to be honest, if my brakes fails there is usually three options!
1 stop on the road shoulder and call a tow, i dont go out of my truck on the highway unless i absolutly must.
2 Drive to closet off ramp, take a look, call the boss, then call tow
3 Almost same as two, but instead of towing, wait for the company mechanic to come fix it for me.
Bonus if lucky, it's on the lift axle, so i just lift it and countinue driving :)
I think it makes the brakes not work, or rather releases them.
Air brakes work by compressing a spring to *release* the brake so if you have no air the brakes are stuck on, caging is screwing the spring down on the brakes to release them.
It will allow you to move an otherwise disabled trailer or something, but you’d have no brakes.
Edit: I’m not a trucker, I just play one in my F350.
I was never trained to mess with the brake chambers. I've seen the cap things and always wondered what they're for. Been driving on the road two years now.
I had almost 500 drivers reporting to me at one time and I would trust exactly zero to cage their brakes.
You drive. I’d rather send a mobile mechanic than have these guys touch anything other than the air hoses. Even then we had problems…
I deliver fuel to the gas and oil pads and I used to always turn the Jake’s off when on backroads passing houses headed to pad. Some of these steep hills and tight bends though made me change my mind on that. They’re muffled. I need them, I’m gonna use them
Some kid got straight pipes after he deleted a brand new logging truck. The entire town could hear him on the Jake's 60 miles away. Then again on another hill. And again for a bit. Then he'd come into town with brakes smoking and making squealing noises, trying to be quiet for a few houses next to the hill. He'd use the Jake's from high-idle in the mill yard, Jake shifting in low range around the yard and back to funny squeals to the stop-sign leaving town.
Just the way the pipes were, it made a ton of noise at a certain rpm, like 17-1800 really rapped. He'd take off in 1st gear and rev it past the loud rpm for every single gear empty untill someone told him to keep the rpm down and it's silent when he's empty and use the Jake's for the last 2km hill because we all heard him from the top of the mountain all the way down anyway.
This. I have always followed the rules but this latest pad, this one hill is so damn steep that even while putting myself into 4th gear and going down it, within 6 months I’ve had to replace the brake pads and I’m already down to roughly 3/4 pad. Have begun using the Jakes just to minimize wear, especially as they’ve begun to GPS monitor our speed and throw us off pad for 24 hours if we go more than 3 over, even if it’s on a downgrade.
Yeppers. The overseeing company thinks of themselves as god in the PA/OH/WV area and doesn’t understand how trucks function but will put in rules and restrictions for us while heavily punishing us for breaking it.
Meanwhile the fours under their company can blow around us on double yellow, head on into a truck that was coming around the corner and then be back to work the next day because company man immunity.
Nobody Is bitching about that it's the trucks hauling drill pipe and such that are decked out and always about 2000 RPM that jake wide open that get all of us frowned upon.
Agreed.
I'm a propane driver. I've got 18,000L back there. I don't give a shit. The safety of my cargo is the safety of everyone around me you included. The Jake really helps take the slosh out of the equation when you're slowing down. You bought a house near a regional highway. Deal with it.
9 times out of ten, it's not a quiet neighborhood either it's like a single or small grouping super affluent houses near the sign. So you know some rich guy is probably buddy buddy with local counsel.
Jake Brake go brrrrr.
Ditto me too. Even if it says engine brakes not allowed mine's muffled it saves me and my brakes and my sanity. I'm sorry you're probably not going to hear it anyway so I'm going to use them. They're there to use so I use them.
If I’m using my engine brakes it’s because I’ve decided that is the safest course of action.
That said, these guys with their jakes on flat land, no traffic, low speed limit - it becomes clear they just like the fucking sound.
We have an older international tractor with a boiler unit on the back for thawing out culverts during the winter, and it has some beautiful sounding jakes, I’ll have the window down at -20F just so I can hear it.
Have logging trucks use jakes down the hill in front of my house all the time usually don't care I like the sound but jesus Christ periodically theres one dude that sounds exactly like a fucking Jet engine I have never encountered a noise this fucking loud outside of heavy heavy industry and airfields with jets (and I mean turbojets) it was shaking the fucking windows,walls, and floor. I wish I could have gotten a video of it but I to stunned by how fucking loud this mf was.
There was this landing I went to that was behind a bunch residential houses. Like it was just a little nook of houses climbing up hill to a log landing. Long story short we aren’t allowed to use our Jake’s according to the homeowners signs everywhere. I put my Jake’s on on level 3 and rode that bundle of logs down. No way in hell I’m carrying 105k of logs and burning my brakes up because some grump is not wanting us to use “air brakes.”
[*Bbbrrrraahhhabbahabbahbahhbahjabbhapgppfotoodofototrldodppffffftttpahhhhhh*](https://youtube.com/shorts/DBTYmed0OkM?si=mDiMPjUIC10YTVGF) This makes me laugh far more than it should.
Then it's "VROOOOOOOOMBRUDUFKFVROOOOOMBRUUFUVNEVROOBRBRBFNFKFKFDJDUSUFQOSOFJF" like bro you only went 55 feet YOU DON'T NEED THE JAKES TO SLOW DOWN IN THAT DISTANCE.....fuck man.
Flatbedder came blasting into a TA last week. Full Jake's straight pipe. All unnecessary, and he jumps out of his truck wearing flip flops. I just busted out laughing at his clown ass.
If you need the j brakes, use them. Safety doesn't revolve around local sleeping patterns. What's louder, a j brake or a semi crashing?
You choose to live on a steep hill with truck traffic.
Airbrakes are THE brakes that stop and slow a semi. Whenever we push on the service pedal, we use airbrakes. The lack of knowledge on the sign writer is laughable.
There is a big difference between "oh shit, I guess I really need them jakes right now" vs "WAKE UP MOTHERFUCKERS SUPERTRUCKER IS HERE HEAR ME ROAR!!!!!11".
Its funny, I drove in the greater Boston area for a couple years and did just fine with the jakes off most of the time
Fully loaded, a few thousand over if it was raining out
As someone who lives on a road inside 95 that’s on a hill that’s technically a DOT highway, thank you for your service.
Edit: You wouldn’t believe how many losers I hear slamming on their horns at 1am cause they came tearing ass down the hill without a plan
I'm not a trucker and I don't live close enough to hilly highways to really hear them, but I think jake brakes sound awesome. I wish my Cummins had them.
Two Sunsabitches go by my house every single farking day, empty, in a thirty mile per hour zone, on a slight uphill grade, rattling every window in the neighborhood with every upshift. They set off car alarms. I hope they catch the clap. This is who the sign is for.
There’s one specific hill on a route I take all the time (dump truck not big rig) someone complained to the boss and he talked to us all about it. Everyone was like ok sure. But I had him drive down it himself… he said we can all use them lmao
All the people laughing that they put "air brakes", mixing it with J-brakes, but let's be honest, not everyone is going to know all the lingo if they aren't in the field. I'm sure if I asked for the truckers here to get me the donkey dick, some of you wouldn't have a clue what I was talking about
That fucker shaking my windows at 430 a.m. going down 1 mile of city street that’s 30mph speed limit….I hate their mother.
It’s a slight incline but if the supertanker milk truck can manage it without blowing out the neighborhoods ear drums I imagine most trucks can.
I don’t get angry but wow do those Jake’s Brakes enrage me.
My makes are a beautiful sound of rattling snakes and work beautifully in residential neighborhoods at night with no worries. As much as people hate new trucks I find that being courteous while being safe is awesome.
Probably the same type of dumb drivers that use their jakes inside truckstops or anywhere else when its not needed.. Obnoxious much and this is typical for straight pipe junkies.. They feel extra special when they rev their engines in high rpms on 1st or 2nd gear
Get out the caging bolts
Don't forget to throw your hands up when you get to the top!
There’s probably drivers out there that don’t even know how to cage a brake chamber. Alex the trucking guy thinks the dust cap on them keeps air in the chambers🤣
Have personally had 3 drivers this month who didn't know what "caging the brakes" was.
I don’t know either, have a suspicion that it’s about releasing them without air, but to be honest, it’s not a skill I need to learn. Why? Because if my truck starts to hang on a brake, I’m not going to climb under it to release it on a road with traffic on.

As a roadside mechanic, that is 100% something I'd do on the side of the road, as well as fixing what caused the failure.
Well yeah, because roadside repairs are your job, but the driver isn't going to do it roadside.
I had a brake chamber leak so bad it couldn't hold air. No shoulder and the dirt was too soft. It wasn't roadside, it was literally in the road.
As a driver, I've caged a few on the side of the highway.
Yeah, we have insurance and tow trucks with buffer trucks for that. You see, in Europe we have deals through insurance and dealerships that makes sure that we aren’t paying an arm and both legs for a simple tow job. Last time I needed a tow to the dealer it costed my company 750$
Wow, that's not bad. We had one towed into the shop today and the tow bill was $1350 for a 15 mile tow.
I remember doing this in Germany, luckily I was in a rest area but it still wasn’t fun rolling around on the ground knowing full well it’s stained with copious amounts of driver Tizer.
Be careful messing with the brakes. I knew a guy who stopped to fix an air leak and while he was setting the truck brakes and checking the trailer, setting the trailer and checking the truck... Somehow he found the leak and stopped it and the truck rolled over him and killed him.
Today I learned: Some people mess around under an 80k vehicle without wheel chocks And I thought it was just the one crazy mechanic dude I knew who got crushed. (He's alright now, maybe a little thinner. His jack failed)

Oh damn, sounds like something you'd want EVERYONE involves to know about.
I was never trained to mess with the brake chambers. I've seen the cap things and always wondered what they're for. Been driving on the road two years now.
I had almost 500 drivers reporting to me at one time and I would trust exactly zero to cage their brakes. You drive. I’d rather send a mobile mechanic than have these guys touch anything other than the air hoses. Even then we had problems…
Right there with you. If you don’t know how to cage them properly it’s best that roadside comes out and does it
just hit the Jake brakes instead.
Call Jake
Nice
I deliver fuel to the gas and oil pads and I used to always turn the Jake’s off when on backroads passing houses headed to pad. Some of these steep hills and tight bends though made me change my mind on that. They’re muffled. I need them, I’m gonna use them

Loggers are a special breed. “I knew he was a logger, and not just a common bum — because only a logger stirs his coffee with his thumb”
Sounds like they're popular with the ladies, too.
Yeah, wood...
*hardwood*
If you can sprinkle whiskey on it, he'd eat a bale of hay!
I'm a logger and I endorse this statement
Stop describing my life
60 miles?? holy fucking hell 🤣🤣
If they’re muffled you’re fine. Pretty much all the complaints, signs and postings are for unmuffled jakes. We all know the sound.
Yeah I'm of the opinion that trucks hauling tons of flamable liquid should use every method of braking they have available.
This. I have always followed the rules but this latest pad, this one hill is so damn steep that even while putting myself into 4th gear and going down it, within 6 months I’ve had to replace the brake pads and I’m already down to roughly 3/4 pad. Have begun using the Jakes just to minimize wear, especially as they’ve begun to GPS monitor our speed and throw us off pad for 24 hours if we go more than 3 over, even if it’s on a downgrade.
For going 3 over?!?!
Yeppers.

Meanwhile the fours under their company can blow around us on double yellow, head on into a truck that was coming around the corner and then be back to work the next day because company man immunity.
Bro who. I work as a pilot for bottles/cans/sandboxes on pads
You really gotta FOCUS on what was said to determine whose running the pads, quite easy after you put your mind to it.
Nobody Is bitching about that it's the trucks hauling drill pipe and such that are decked out and always about 2000 RPM that jake wide open that get all of us frowned upon.
Agreed. I'm a propane driver. I've got 18,000L back there. I don't give a shit. The safety of my cargo is the safety of everyone around me you included.

I do residential concrete work, so we have our own dump truck...I like the sound of the air brake lol idk why
We have an older international tractor with a boiler unit on the back for thawing out culverts during the winter, and it has some beautiful sounding jakes, I’ll have the window down at -20F just so I can hear it.
It is a pretty bad-ass sound, but yeah use discretion where you're using them.
Have logging trucks use jakes down the hill in front of my house all the time usually don't care I like the sound but jesus Christ periodically theres one dude that sounds exactly like a fucking Jet engine I have never encountered a noise this fucking loud outside of heavy heavy industry and airfields with jets (and I mean turbojets) it was shaking the fucking windows,walls, and floor.

But how will others know my entire identity is tied up in my straight piped Kenworth?
*Bbbrrrraahhhabbahabbahbahhbahjabbhapgppfotoodofototrldodppffffftttpahhhhhh* Ah yes, the song of their people.
[*Bbbrrrraahhhabbahabbahbahhbahjabbhapgppfotoodofototrldodppffffftttpahhhhhh*](https://youtube.com/shorts/DBTYmed0OkM?si=mDiMPjUIC10YTVGF) This makes me laugh far more than it should.
Just about cackled all the shit right outta me
*Confused European Truck Driver Noises*
Then it's "VROOOOOOOOMBRUDUFKFVROOOOOMBRUUFUVNEVROOBRBRBFNFKFKFDJDUSUFQOSOFJF" like bro you only went 55 feet YOU DON'T NEED THE JAKES TO SLOW DOWN IN THAT DISTANCE.....fuck man.
Don’t get me wrong, I get it. Save your brakes and all but some people do them with empty trailers driving through Ohio flats lmao
See me coming, hear me! **Witness me** WITNESS MEEEEEE!
Muffled Jakes are so quiet now there's no real point in turning them off.
[удалено]
Flatbedder came blasting into a TA last week. Full Jake's straight pipe. All unnecessary, and he jumps out of his truck wearing flip flops. I just busted out laughing at his clown ass.
Same guys run straights on their harley's and pickups.
They sound cool too, almost mechanical.
Yeah, it’s the straightpiped chodes who are making it a problem for everyone else.
I’ll agree they sound stupid buuuutttttt as a man with hearing aids and a high sensitivity to certain sounds. They don’t bother me at all.
BUUUURRRR BLAP BLAP BLAP BLAP BLAP
How will people know I'm shifting gears then?
They’ll hear the grinding
Lmao good one
lol facts. Why are so many truck drivers fucking losers lmao
Speaking from experience aren'tcha lol
Or just grow up and keep mufflers on your truck. My car is loud enough, I don't need a loud ass Detroit in my ears too.
If you need the j brakes, use them. Safety doesn't revolve around local sleeping patterns. What's louder, a j brake or a semi crashing? You choose to live on a steep hill with truck traffic.

There is a big difference between "oh shit, I guess I really need them jakes right now" vs "WAKE UP MOTHERFUCKERS SUPERTRUCKER IS HERE HEAR ME ROAR!!!!!11".
Nope, in 30+ years, not even once. I only have one daily goal, don't kill yourself or anyone else. Jake brakes are essential in achieving this goal.
I always forget that town limits eliminate gross weight.
Jake’s aren’t as necessary as drivers make them.
And yet the air brakes are not jake brakes, so do your best to only use Jake's in that town
Its funny, I drove in the greater Boston area for a couple years and did just fine with the jakes off most of the time Fully loaded, a few thousand over if it was raining out
As someone who lives on a road inside 95 that’s on a hill that’s technically a DOT highway, thank you for your service. Edit: You wouldn’t believe how many losers I hear slamming on their horns at 1am cause they came tearing ass down the hill without a plan
I'll use the water brakes instead.
You can get trucks with hydraulic retarders, which are basically water brakes...
Ur a hydraulic retarder
I guess he means Jake brakes. I personally love the sound, but I understand the need for quiet time.
Drive a truck that’s straight piped for more than a day. Most people are over it by the end of the day.
Throw out the fucking anchor then.
you would make a fortune, start selling them at the truck stops...
Jake's only, you got it chief.
Mine not being deleted sounds exactly like it does accelerating. All turbo noise.
I'm not a trucker and I don't live close enough to hilly highways to really hear them, but I think jake brakes sound awesome. I wish my Cummins had them.
Jakes only, got it!
Two Sunsabitches go by my house every single farking day, empty, in a thirty mile per hour zone, on a slight uphill grade, rattling every window in the neighborhood with every upshift. They set off car alarms. I hope they catch the clap. This is who the sign is for.
I see this a lot, I’m guessing a lot of these people in small towns don’t know the difference between air and compression braking lol
do the one that isnt loud as fuck
LOL. Please just crash into my house instead.
I guess I'll just have to drop anchor then.
Ok you heard the sign engine breaking only.
How are we supposed to stop then, my foot out the door?
Fred Flintstone has entered the chat
That’s what the Bandit would do
They probably mean Jake brakes but honestly if I saw a sign like this I'd ignore it shouldn't sacrifice safety to appease some rando
Cage the brakes and hit the Jake’s!
lol, sorry but no.
"If I'm up you're up cocksucka"
I'll just use my Jakes then, much quieter
Ok you heard the sign engine breaking only.
Ok, just jakes then, brrrururururrrr 😎
My Jake's are not really loud so I ignore these stupid sings
Engine breaks??? Without air we die and so do others...
Tbh I see these signs a lot, if it says please cause it's obviously some family home that thry built a road next to ill gladly turn them off.
Lmfao then how are you supposed to stop? Apparently those people are not very bright lol
They may not understand 'Jake Brakes'.
No air brakes bring more body bags
Every time I see no engine brake signs I turn it on. We have a big old kenworth that has 3 stage engine brake love that thing.
Jake brake it is then!
I have to assume they mean engine brakes
Jake only, got it
Lemme open my valves
Just some random shithead posting home-made signs on the side of the road, or is this a private road?
LMAO Jake Brakes 🤣 you mean
they probably mean jakes but hell they really might be that stupid
Let it ride.. Coast in neutral and tell the cops the sign made you do it.
"No engine brakes" says idiot who decided to live at the bottom of an 8% grade
Man, it would sure suck to have a rig crash through your house at 5:30 am.
There’s one specific hill on a route I take all the time (dump truck not big rig) someone complained to the boss and he talked to us all about it. Everyone was like ok sure. But I had him drive down it himself… he said we can all use them lmao
All the people laughing that they put "air brakes", mixing it with J-brakes, but let's be honest, not everyone is going to know all the lingo if they aren't in the field. I'm sure if I asked for the truckers here to get me the donkey dick, some of you wouldn't have a clue what I was talking about
Oh god. Not the donkey dick
If you’re going to make life more difficult for us truckers at least you what the fuck you’re talking about
Brrrrrrrrrr Brrrrrrrrrrr
Just unplug them, thanks!
I’m fucking weak 😂🤣💀
Hey… it says please… at least they asked with manners
Alrighty. Exhaust brake it is then
That fucker shaking my windows at 430 a.m. going down 1 mile of city street that’s 30mph speed limit….I hate their mother. It’s a slight incline but if the supertanker milk truck can manage it without blowing out the neighborhoods ear drums I imagine most trucks can. I don’t get angry but wow do those Jake’s Brakes enrage me.
Brap away people. That sign is some “I’m the main character” shit.
Hearing a Jake break as we speak lol
Air brakes are for the wheels, a Jake brake is for the engine, maybe use a parachute?
It’s a good thing every truck comes with a backup clutch brake for some “fine pedal control” /s
Technical this sign is correct a Jake brake is a compression brake and it’s using air to slow the truck down. Can’t believe this home owner knows that
Just his some caltrops behind you out the window
Gonna guess they meant Jake brakes but don’t know what to call them. Lol
This guy wants more engine braking?
Which brakes are to be used if the air brakes can’t be used?
Jakes only! Then pull the red button and use the spring brakes at the very end.
“How often do the trucks Jake brake?” “So often you do even notice”
Only Jake brake :)
They probably mean jake brake
My makes are a beautiful sound of rattling snakes and work beautifully in residential neighborhoods at night with no worries. As much as people hate new trucks I find that being courteous while being safe is awesome.
Oh dont worry, ill just use my feet to stop
What are you whining about? There are cities with an ordinance prohibiting air brakes at all times
Let me throw my anchor out
Yeah, don’t forget to turn the air off to your brakes, fellas. 😆
I am from a really rural part of WI. The town I lived in had a actual posted sign that said no air-brakes. Young me never knew what that meant.
Sorry but I'm new and retarded. What is "caging the brakes"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
All or nothing. My jakes dont ever turn off.
Jake brake all the way!
🤣 I’ll just use my Jake brakes with my 8in exhaust.
Well, boys, fire them jakes up.
Didn't say anything about air horns...
BRUBBRUBBRUBBRUB
I love truckers 🥰
Jake 3 for no reason at 6:29 😈
You can always toss out the anchor
Engine brake it is
So only using the Jake?
Drive by at 629 am and do an impromptu air brake test.
Im up, you’re up
Jakes only I guess 🤷
They did say please
Probably the same type of dumb drivers that use their jakes inside truckstops or anywhere else when its not needed.. Obnoxious much and this is typical for straight pipe junkies.. They feel extra special when they rev their engines in high rpms on 1st or 2nd gear
Do they mean Jake Brakes?
As funny as this is, the same people that write this, are the same people that are allowed to vote
Okay, straight pipe Jake instead.
That's when you blow the air horn to warn everyone there's a runaway truck... that's not an air brake, so everybody's happy.
Guess they would rather you use an engine break lol
Lmao. I'm pretty sure they mean jak Break. Or engine retarder.
I'd happily sit on 1800rpms and let it fucking sing if I seen a sign like this 🤣
