Title: Bussin 2011 - Brake Seminar - what are we going to cover?
Post by: buswarrior on December 12, 2010, 11:25:36 AM
Hello busnuts!

This is being cross posted to both BCM and BNO.

Jack will be scheduling me in for a brake seminar at Bussin 2011.

As for what to present in a seminar slot, I'd like to poll the audience for some specifics...

What would you like to see covered?

happy coaching!

Adjustments and routine maintenance ...

I would say operational theory, the real DOT daily inspection, and inspection and adjustment of manual slack adjusters, and inspection of auto slack adjusters.  Mind you, that was a 12 hour air brake course when I took it...  Not exactly a seminar.

In additon to BusWarrior's Brake seminar, we will also have a Webasto seminar by a Webasto representative, a driving seminar by RJ Long, a plumbing seminar by Sean Welsh and a round table discussion with Luke and possibly a few more.  Jack

Now I really am going to move Heaven and Earth to be there. The opporunity to finally meet Buswarrior and RJ Long face to face will be a dream come true for me.

Still facing a minor (I hope) Kohler problem..hope it's just a fuse but it's been sooo cold here I don't really want to go outdoors.

Keeping all fingers crossed....

For those of us who can't make it, does anyone plan to video these seminars? I think a set of DVD's offered to the busnut community would be a great service and would be well worth the price. Just another idea to consider.
