Well, the scales opened up early this morning, it's a long story, but I have to guess my weight for this particular load...
Ya, I was heavy on the drives, park...
Soo, I talk to the guy about adjusting brakes, he says yes we can, then I point out the chapter 8 manual that I posted and it says there in a information "block" that mech's are required to adjust.
He was going to look into it...
I also sent an e. mail to the govt. and got a reply already...
This from my E.mail A Quote...
This is the information I acquired from the Driving School Inspector for Vancouver Island. I hope this is helpful to you.

" Drivers in BC are required to check brake push rod travel and, either adjust as necessary, or park the vehicle and have someone else (like a mechanic) adjust/repair as necessary before the vehicle goes back on the road.
This rumour may have something to do with automatic slack adjusters. If a problem occurs with this type, some companies tell their drivers not to adjust them manually because there may be a mechanical problem. They prefer that the driver take the vehicle to the nearest repair facility so a mechanic can deal with it " .
That's it... Regional rules, I do not know ? B.C. has the nastiest hills on the continent...
