Brake Risk Control Requires Trained People

A fleet cannot control brake risk through mechanical testing and reports alone. The drivers who perform pre-trip checks, the mechanics who maintain the trailers, the controllers who dispatch the loads, and the managers who oversee compliance must all understand how trailer brake systems operate.

"Test the trailers. Inspect the faults. Train the people. Track the evidence."

Brake IQ provides a dual-path training solution combining hands-on on-site training sessions with continuous learning modules through our online Academy.

On-Site Air Brake Training

We conduct practical training directly at your fleet depot or workshop yard. Our curriculum is tailored for South African operating realities and covers:

  • Air brake system basics: How air compressors, reservoirs, and relay valves supply pressure to your combination.
  • Trailer components: Identifying slack adjusters, brake chambers, load sensing valves (LSV), and trailer modulators.
  • Warning signs & leaks: How to recognize mechanical binding, pressure leaks, and bad suzie couplings.
  • ABS/EBS indicators: Understanding trailer dashboard lamps, sensor faults, and blink-code systems.
  • Report actioning: Teaching mechanics how to read a Brake IQ dynamic report and target the correct axle repairs.

Online Brake IQ Academy

To support ongoing training and driver onboarding, we offer the online Brake IQ Academy. Structured modules let learners study at their own pace:
