Innovative Product The Assistant Revolutionizes Brake Training

Cedar Falls, IA – Jan. 1, 2005 — For a truck driver, brakes are everything. Yet, until now, learning to adjust these brakes was so inconvenient that few drivers even bothered to learn the procedure. Gone are the days when venturing into an oil-spotted parking lot and crouching beneath a truck were the only ways to understand brakes; today, truck driving instructors and trucking employers can use The Assistant to provide hands-on learning in a classroom environment. Developed by a mechanic with 26 years of experience in the trucking industry and marketed by Crystal Distribution Services, The Assistant is a self-contained, portable brake simulator made of real working parts.

The Assistant offers a hands-on experience within the comfort of a classroom, resulting in numerous benefits. This innovative approach to teaching increases trucking students' retention, clearly a good thing for truck drivers who find themselves thousands of miles from their instructor on any given day. Additionally, training drivers to become comfortable with brake adjustment reduces the number of out-of-service vehicles on the road, ultimately cutting costs and improving safety. For instructors, business owners, and any others who want their drivers to provide the highest-quality service, The Assistant offers a competitive advantage.

The Assistant is easy to use, portable, and most importantly, effective. Constructed from working components of an actual air brake, The Assistant allows students to activate the air brake and see the inner components in action. This makes it the ideal device to assist in training for air brake certification, and it provides an easy way to teach both proper brake adjustment as well as how to re-set and adjust slack adjusters. A high-quality training product, it comes with a 12-month guarantee on all parts and services. To test it out, on-site trials can be arranged; The Assistant can be shipped to your location.

The Assistant is an innovative new product that will prove invaluable to those in the trucking industry. Whether you are involved in air brake certification or simply interested in maximizing drivers' potential, The Assistant will revolutionize performance.
