What is the proper braking technique for a tanker vehicle?
a.Brake hard and fast at the last moment
b.Use steady, controlled braking pressure and brake early
c.Pump the brakes rapidly at all times
d.Only use the engine brake, never the service brakes
Explanation
The proper braking technique for a tanker is to apply steady, controlled braking pressure and begin braking earlier than you would in a non-tanker vehicle. Hard or sudden braking can cause liquid surge that pushes the vehicle forward and may result in a jackknife or loss of control.
