Jake brake noise

In northeast Georgia’s Franklin County, officials are looking at ways to solve a truck noise problem in the vicinity of the Georgia Renewable Power Plant at highway 59 and 198.  County commissioner Elizabeth Busby says she has received complaints from nearby residents about the noise when truck drivers apply their compression release brakes, called jake brakes.  Residents say the noise is all hours of the day and night.  Busby is hopeful a letter to Georgia Renewable Power will lead to a solution.
