The Bendix Online Brake School has reached a milestone of 200,000 registered users, offering free, accessible education to the trucking industry since its launch in 2013. The platform provides more than 100 courses on braking systems and active vehicle safety technologies, as well as customized educational plans for fleets and industry professionals.

“Reaching a wide range of industry professionals with free expert education when it fits their schedule – that’s been the purpose of Brake-School.com since its launch,” said TJ Thomas, Bendix director of marketing and customer solutions, in a news release. “Knowledge sharing and access to in-depth, up-to-date technical information are crucial components of fleet, vehicle, and highway safety.”

The platform caters to drivers, technicians, fleet personnel, distributors, and owner-operators, delivering training on topics ranging from basic components like foundation drum brakes to advanced systems such as collision mitigation technologies and electronic safety systems. With 126 courses available, students can learn about troubleshooting, diagnostics, maintenance best practices, and more.

Bendix also offers customized programming to maximize everyone’s time and resources. This enables companies to monitor their registered employees’ participation and progress through Brake-School.com courses. Remote education sessions can also be set up directly with fleets and technicians.

“One size doesn’t fit all – every trucking company can have a specific set of education needs, whether it’s a single-vehicle operation, a fleet of several thousand, or any number in between,” Thomas said. “Specialized plans and tracking systems put these tools in the hands of the people who best know their fleet requirements.”
