Interstate Nomad Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I use all of the listed brakes, depending on the situation. Mostly, I use the normal brake, followed by the handbrake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuaad Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I use 3 of them. I usually use 'Retarder' while doing convoys. But it's not always possible cause you can't use Retarder while using Cruise Control. So when I use Cruise Control, I do use normal and Engine brake cause the engine brake sound is good to hear for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farm Shark Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I usually use normal brake instead of retarder or engine brake; however, I do have mine set to a low intensity that way I have fine control over how much I want to slow down that way I don't tap on my brakes and my truck flies to screeching halt . I also have it set to my brake pedal I use a wheel for even finer control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting As far as I know, Retarder not works while using Cruise Control, if you can use them both at the same time, then congrats your truck is special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting Both retarder and engine brake works with cruise control if "automatic retarder" or "automatic engine brake" option is enabled, both will brake automatically when cruise cotrol is engaged. If both options are enabled, retarder will be used preferentially when installed, if it's not, engine brake will be used instead, never both. Manually engaging retarder (retarder increase / retarder decrease) and / or engine brake (engine brake / engine brake toggle / engine brake increase / engine brake decrease) will disable cruise control. 7 hours ago, [BEARS] Respect said: trailer brake , the brake pedal if without a trailer Not a smart thing to do. Firstly, trailers have air brakes just like trucks, when you push down the brake pedal you are operating both truck and trailer air brakes together. Secondly, it is not for driving on the road, trailer brake operated from the cab is on/off switch which blocks the trailer wheels like a parking brake, trailers still do have a parking brake operated manually, usually by a button at the back of the trailer. Both of these are used when coupling/decoupling trailer, performing tug test and, in american trucks, to slide the trailer tandem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiden Zybell Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Whenever possible I try to use the engine brake to slow down, but if I need to stop quickly I use the normal brake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the 'playful' use of this option that helps keep you in the lane with zero stabilisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loexie Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I mostly use the regular brake, but I use sometimes hand brakes in emergency situations Kind regards, Loexie Bruijn Logistics | Senior Human Resources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PallePuh Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I'm going to be honest. Normally I am lazy when driving and don't plan my driving. So I end up using the normal brake / foot brake. If I have a heavy load or need to stop quickly, I use my foot brake in combination with my trailer brake. However, sometimes I use the retarder. If I aimed to drive realistically, I would use the retarder + / engine brake.

_Spakz_ Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 mostly use retarder but sometimes its just not enough so I crash into the back of a trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inklink Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 To be honest, I try to use the retarder most of the time, but of course it can't be used every time, so it's a 50/50 mix of both the regular brake and the retarder :). --------------------------------------------------------------- Rules | Recruitment | Feedback | Support | Guides | Report System | Appeal System | Knowledge Base --------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DinoTVgg Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 It depends on the situation, sometimes I use retarder, sometimes the normal brake and in cases that require a more abrupt brake, I use the handbrake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
