    We lucked out with a good mechnic. He did pm, lube and dot inspection all at once. Truck and trailer in about 3 hours. Not bad

    Why are the air lines not hooked to the trailer?

    After they are done driving for the day they park the truck and leave the lines out overnight in the rain

    That is just lazy. Next time take off gladhands off airlines. And leave a note " if you cant hang up air lines correctly, then you can find new gladhands." After once or twice it will no longer be a problem

    I understand very lazy especially leaving their trash in the cab as well. I was just wondering if it is dangerous if water gets into them from the rain or if that is only dangerous in freezing weather

    Rainwater isn’t pure. Anything in the airlines is a contaminant potentially and can potentially damage lines from the inside out

    Meh. I don't have a place for my glad hands, I just loop them through the bungee that is holding my electrical cord on my headache rack. I've bobtailed enough in the rain and I've never worried about water getting in them.
