What we see on trucks from Herkimer
Herkimer is a county seat at a Thruway exit, so county and village trucks, local haulers and Thruway freight off Exit 30 are all part of the mix.
Valley roads drop to the river in short, steep grades, and those grades are where glazed shoes, hot drums and weak brake chambers show up first.
Stopped in or near Herkimer
Give the road and a landmark: Exit 30, Route 28, Route 5 or Mohawk Street, or Herkimer College.
An air leak you can hear, a low air warning, or brakes that will not release are not things to drive on. Stop somewhere safe and call; many air leaks can be fixed at the truck.
Questions
How far is the shop from Herkimer?
About 13 miles by road, about 20 minutes in normal traffic, to 2256 Broad St in Frankfort. The shop is open 24 hours.
Is it safe to drive with the ABS light on?
The service brakes still work, but the anti-lock function may not, and it is an inspection item. Have it diagnosed soon rather than at the next inspection.
Can you fix an air leak at the roadside?
Often, yes. Lines, fittings and some valves can be replaced at the truck. A leaking brake chamber or a bad compressor may need the shop.
Can I bring the truck in from Herkimer at night?
Yes. The shop is open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Call ahead so a bay is ready.
