    I would assume the tow truck drivers have some device that goes around the kingpin lock.

    Morton's are good folk .
    10$ buck to drop your trlr and if you want to leave your truck & trlr there's no charge. They would just like you to fuel before you leave.

    They can chain lift it from the frame of the trailer.

    I suggest watching highway to hell, the battle on the con highway, Jamie's big rotators dead lift trailers with contents inside when necessary. A little kingpin lock aint gonna save you from a tow.

    Gladhand and kingpin locks will do nothing but annoy a wrecker driver they are meant to prevent the average thief from helping themselves to your equipment
