A Telma is a frictionless braking system for larger trucks.  It is frictionless so there isn\u2019t anything to maintain, no brake pads to replace.  It helps slow down the vehicle faster, adding safety, and also allows your friction brakes to last longer, saving money.<br \/>\n<em>But what if I don\u2019t own a big truck?<\/em><br \/>\nTell someone who does, and tell them to buy a Telma, they are cool.<br \/>\nThis week I had an installation training in Omaha, NE.  I have been on an installation training before, but that was the first one I saw.  So my boss sent me out on an installation training, and he couldn\u2019t make it, so I was alone in the deal.  After a week of installing it, no real problems, it is installed (it usually takes about a week to install, its not like it took me longer).  There was one wiring issue with the ABS system on the truck we ran into, but got that figured out and took a test drive in the truck and it works very nice.  Being the truck was empty with no body on it (it is going to be a dump truck, just doesn\u2019t have the back end on it yet, it\u2019s a brand new truck) it would trip the ABS, which was nice to know the Telma shut off, so the system worked correctly.  I go on these trips training mechanics who work on the trucks and this training I trained them how to install this Telma.<br \/>\nI got to see again how much the Telma helps in the braking; it is a really powerful unit.
