Cummins-Meritor Regional Brake Training Events Return in 2024

COLUMBUS, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cummins-Meritor®, a leading provider of integrated drivetrain solutions, today announced the return of their live, in-person aftermarket parts training sessions, open to technicians nationwide. The 2024 Regional Training program focuses on maintenance and repair of heavy-duty commercial vehicle brakes, including both cam and air disc brake systems. From June through November, training events will be hosted across 14 cities in the United States: Lakeland, FL, Atlanta, GA, Long Island, NY, Birmingham, AL, Deerfield Beach, FL, Novi, MI, Louisville, KY, Pittsburgh, PA, Seattle, WA, Minneapolis, MN, Syracuse, NY, Philadelphia, PA, Baltimore, MD, and Arlington, TX.

With morning and afternoon options per location, each training event is condensed into a 4-hour format, so technicians receive important information in a concise manner with minimal disruption to their operations.

“Our trainings cover critical areas such as brake adjustment, brake balance, automatic slack adjusters, reduced stopping distance (RSD), preventative maintenance and inspection, and diagnostic procedures,” said Joseph Baumer, technical training manager, at Cummins-Meritor. “Our last regional training events were held in 2020 and we are proud to bring them back as part of our comprehensive aftermarket training offering.”

The in-person training events compliment Cummins-Meritor’s online training portal, BullPen, which offers a wide range of on-demand training courses, accessible 24/7, empowering users to complete modules covering a diverse range of Meritor-branded products at their convenience.

Complete schedule and registration information for Cummins-Meritor’s regional brake training sessions is available on MeritorPartsXpress.com. Capacity is limited so online registration is required to secure a seat.
