What Causes Soft Brakes in Heavy-Loaded Trucks?

[DeAdalynn]

There are several reasons for soft brakes in heavy-loaded trucks: air in the system; excessive free play; poor-quality brake fluid with a low boiling point, causing bubbles during braking; and poor sealing of the master cylinder or wheel cylinders, leading to pressure loss. Below are some tips for driving near large trucks: 1. Avoid truck blind spots: Trucks have large blind spots, especially on the right side. Often, trucks drive in the middle of the road, and if slow vehicles block the fast lane, drivers may attempt to overtake from the truck's right side, which is highly prone to accidents. 2. Dangers of truck turns: When a truck turns, there is a specific term called 'inner wheel difference,' referring to the difference between the front and rear wheels on the turning side. If a car stays in this area, the truck driver may not see it at all. Keep a safe distance.
