A 30 minute break is required after driving 8 hours, sorry, couldn’t help myself. But for brakes, I would think your dispatcher/broker would have somebody in the Houston area they would recommend. ---

what kind of brake issues are you having? and what kind of truck? Year/Make?model? what kind of brakes? Air/Hydraluic? It would be expensive, but about all I could suggest is a dealership for your truck. You can ask other truckers at a truck stop or two for mechanic/shop opinions, but you likely won’t get specific suggestions here. HaevyDuty just isn’t well represented here. 🙂 ---

> [@eddo](#): > > ask other truckers at a truck stop or two for mechanic/shop opinions That seems the common-sense solution. Ask other folks who’ve prior likely had to solve this problem themselves. One time I rented a truck and it developed a problem, and the staff at the truck-rental company (Penske I think) told me which was the best shop for truck-repair in the area. So that’s another idea, ask a truck-rental company who they use for truck repairs. ---

What kind of Truck? Pickup or Class 8 or something in between?
