    Just curious because those things can slide around on everyone's lines.

    The violation number for the spring guards sliding was under 393.45(b)(2).

    I suppose they could make the argument the springs were chafing the lines. Be BS but they could make it.

    It slid down in transit, so I used electrical tape to keep them in place.

    They could say the line could kink because the springs aren’t attached to the gladhand anymore.

    The good news is that the rest of your truck must be in pretty good shape if that’s what they dug up to write you up for.
     
    Rideandrepair and DSK333 Thank this.

    I was thinking the same. They were obviously reaching. Vultures needed some revenue for the State.

    My old lines had no springs on them. Rubber lines not those plastic POS. The new ones do but they are under the handles.

    I agree, also most likely what the DOT was keying on that day. Some times they key on HOS sometimes its lights or tires and sometimes it is things like this.

    That’s what I thought. Sounds like they had to try really hard
