I asked why we weren't being taught how to adjust them and I was told that maintenance didn't want the drivers working on the trucks.
The way they explained it to us was that yes a certified mechanic is the one to service the brakes, but we as drivers should know how to adjust them if needed....such as at brake check points prior to steed downgrades etc. I think it is good knowledge to have.
