I have heard of a fairly new device that actually fits over the air valves on the dash. It prevents anyone from releasing the brakes while it is installed. The only way to get this "collar" off is the key. I am sorry I do not recall the specific name the designer named it but perhaps one of the other members here will be familiar with the name of the device and where to look for it.

I have seen those air valve locks in magazines and just now online. One site had one for almost $300! But I found one that is designed a little different for $66.80 at It would be worth the money for when you want to leave the AC or heater running while you go in to shower or whatever.

I have an autoactivating alarm on my truck, it prevents theft of the truck. If anyone gets near of it, it alerts me, and if they are dumb enough to open the doors well... I'll have a big ole mess to clean up. I don't ever unhook from my trailer unless I am in a drop yard so I don't need to worry about the trailer.

I padlock the trailer doors so that should be about as safe as I can personally make it (or care to make it.)

Yes they are called air cuff locks. Some companies are using them now.
