Brake fanning is a technique used by truck drivers to control speed and prevent overheating of the brakes while descending steep grades. It involves intermittently applying and releasing the brakes to allow them to cool, rather than constantly applying them, which can lead to brake fade. This method helps maintain better control of the vehicle and prolongs brake life. Proper brake fanning is crucial for safety in maintaining optimal stopping power during long downhill stretches.
