AIR DISC BRAKES ARE NOT ONE SIZE FITS ALL

How is it one fleet will swear by air disc brakes, while another one will say they get longer life and less maintenance from drum brakes? Both are right. The truth is, when it comes to air disc brakes, one size does not fit all applications.

There is a big difference between a long haul tractor-trailer that gets up to 900,000 miles per brake change, and a cement mixer/hauler that gets 50,000 miles per brake job.
