Do Air Disc Brakes Lower Your Cost-per-Mile?

from The Heavy Duty Parts Report · host Jamie Irvine

Send us Fan MailEpisode 18: Brakes are one of the most common places where the cost-per-mile vs. purchase price debate intersects. Over the last 20 years, I have seen fleets and repair shop owners be seduced into buying a skid of low-cost brake material in the hopes that they will save money. It is not entirely surprising that disc brakes (which cost significantly more initially) have not been readily adopted on commercial trucks and trailers. In this episode, we will investigate whether air disc brakes lower your cost-per-mile and are worth the initial additional cost. Next Steps:Visit HeavyDutyPartsReport.com to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast on your favorite podcast player. If you prefer to watch these episodes, go to The Heavy-Duty Parts Report YouTube Channel, subscribe, and click the bell to notify you when a new episode goes live.This Episode is Sponsored by: With over 1.5 Million crosses and growing every day, you can cross just about any part number that you're looking for on TruckPartsCross.com.  Disclaimer: This podcast and description may contain affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, The Heavy-Duty Parts Report may receive a small commission.Follow the podcast to never miss an episode.
