The number one reason for air brake vehicles being grounded at scales is brakes out of adjustment.

My CDL has a bake adjustment endorsement. BUT: It is not recommended that anyone without a HD mechanic's license adjust air brakes. If they are out of adjustment there is something wrong with the system. But one can check the stroke length. Near impossible on the rear axle of a MH. Even the fronts on many are hard to do due to ground clearance. I would bet that some of the posters do not know how to do a "6 pack" brake adjustment ( does not apply to disc brakes).

To the OP, never, ever, get under a coach with a chassis air system without chocking the tires and blocking the frame. If an air line were to give-way, you will be crushed if you are under the coach.

Mark is referring to a coach with air bag suspension as a side note to air brakes.
