Hey Dispatch University Dispatchers, Possibly, the most common thing I've been told by new dispatchers is that they don't have any experience. And, that they really want this. Our course covers everything we need to know to get started, up and running in a very short time. It is not uncommon to be making money in a matter of weeks. I want to do my part too. So, I thought of these terms that may help us all get more familiar with the dispatching and trucker lingo. Let me know if you like it. We're going to do it one alphabet at a time. This is the next one. The J's. I ask that you add any others that begin with J that you think are missing. J 1. Jackknife – 1) When the tractor and trailer are at a sharp angle to one another. 2) A type of accident in which the tractor and trailer turn to make a V-shape. 2. Jake Brake – 1) An engine compressor brake that builds back pressure by preventing exhaust from escaping, slowing the engine as the cycle at the top of the power stroke is interrupted. 2) Slang for the Jacobs engine brake, an auxiliary braking device on tractors. 3) The most common retarder type on over-the-road trucks, manipulating engine valves to create drag. Other types include exhaust retarders, transmission-mounted hydraulic retarders, and axle-mounted electromagnetic retarders. 3.
