Brake Inspections That Could Save Your Life

August 12, 2025

On this week’s Maintenance Matters on Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac is joined by Kevin Lindsey, Manager of Technical Service for TravelCenters of America, to talk about one of the most critical aspects of truck safety: brake inspections.


Kevin shares why regular brake checks are non-negotiable, what to look for during an inspection, and the warning signs drivers should never ignore. His simple but powerful reminder? “If you can’t stop, you’ll never arrive.”


Whether you’re hauling cross-country or running local routes, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you stay safe, compliant, and confident on the road.
