FMCSA OKs Performance-Based Brake Testing
 Private fleet operators and service shops use Hunter’s B400T to quickly identify brake problems and eliminate guesswork. |

Hunter played an important role in the evaluation of automated brake
testing. After concluding a one-year study of the B400T at this
Minnesota weigh station, the Federal Highway Administration
endorsed federal funding for states to purchase the technology. |
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has made its final ruling allowing the use of performance-based brake testers (automated brake testers such as Hunter’s B400T) to enforce commercial vehicle brake performance standards. The B400T can greatly increase the throughput and efficiency of roadside safety inspection, saving time and enhancing safety for both commercial carriers and law enforcement. It can also help remove subjectivity from inspections by measuring actual brake performance. |
Pentastar Service Equipment recently honored Hunter with its 2002 “Award of Excellence” for outstanding sales performance. The award was presented to Hunter at the DaimlerChrysler National Training Center in Auburn Hills, Michigan, during PSE’s annual supplier meeting. PSE also used the occasion to celebrate the company’s 30th anniversary of supplying DaimlerChrysler family retail dealerships with high quality, approved service equipment. |
