Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems has announced its 2014 schedule for the Bendix Brake Training School. The in-person class is aimed at educating both new and experienced technicians.
Bendix is offering 23 different sessions across the U.S. and Canada. This year’s classes open on March 25 in Owosso, Mich.
“The trucking industry depends on technicians being equipped with the most up-to-date operational and service knowledge, a need that becomes ever more important as braking and safety technologies advance,” said John Reid, Bendix SWAT team manager and a four-decade company veteran. “We offer the Bendix Brake Training School to allow fleets and owner-operators to stay on the leading edge of technical information about air and foundation brake systems. This helps them keep their vehicles in good working condition – reducing downtime and service costs, and contributing to safer roads.”
The school is three-days long and teaches maintenance professionals the description, operation, and service of the entire range of foundation and air brake system components, the company said. In addition the program covers the commercial vehicle regulatory landscape, including federal Reduced Stopping Distance regulations and Compliance, Safety, Accountability.
