Why do Truck Brakes Fail?

Overloading a truck or exceeding safe weight limits places extra stress on brakes, causing them to overheat and potentially fail
Mechanical defects caused by brake manufacturers
Incorrect maintenance
Incorrect driver training or incorrect driver braking technique

What You can do After a Truck Accident
