Repair planning guide
A brake request starts with a safely parked unit.
Tell the provider about braking concerns, warning indications or a wheel-end problem already observed. Do not drive the vehicle to demonstrate a fault or use this guide to decide whether it is safe to move. That assessment belongs with a qualified professional.
Compare the scope before you approve
| Quote component | What to confirm with the provider |
|---|---|
| Affected equipment | Which tractor or trailer axle and related systems does the inspection cover? |
| Corrective work | Which parts, labour and additional findings need approval after inspection? |
| Completion record | What checks, remaining defects and operating restrictions will the provider record? |
Identify the affected equipment
Say whether the concern is on the tractor, straight truck or trailer. Include the axle and side if known, any warning indication and what the driver noticed. Distinguish an unusual sound, pulling, dragging or heat already observed; you do not need to touch a component or go underneath the vehicle.
Separate inspection from corrective work
Ask what the initial inspection covers and whether the provider can perform the required work at the current location. A brake complaint may need more than a single replacement part. Request the findings and proposed scope before authorizing changes.
Document the release decision
Ask the provider to record the work completed, relevant checks, remaining defects and any operating restrictions. A paid invoice or completed marketplace status is not an independent declaration of roadworthiness. Follow the provider’s findings and your carrier’s procedures.
