Fresh thread because this is specific information, but it's riot related.
I've been thinking about how a rig can be disabled by someone on a catwalk, and it's not just a trick industry insiders would know.
So maybe a few passes around the glad hands with duct tape so people can't pop a line off when you get swarmed?
Tape up your glad hands?

I don’t think DOT is going to like that if you get inspected. Besides, they (rioters) can cut the lines easily if they want to disable your truck.

Well eventually I'll need to drop it again driver. More of a discouragement. I can slap off a red line with the palm of my hand.

Good idea and couldn’t hurt to do this.
In this case one good thing about hollywood depictions of trucks is everytime the air lines are pulled off and the truck loses air the foot peddle is shown to go to the floor and the truck has no brakes and does not stop and plows into things and explodes. So hopefully that fear for the uninformed keeps it from happening. People do tend to believe what they see in film as the facts.HardwareHyena, 91B20H8, Dale thompson and 6 others Thank this. -
I umm, know from personal experience if you drive away from a trailer without disconnecting a glad hand,,, it tends to sort it self out PDQ (and goes on my damages file.)

If they were able to get up on your catwalk, you've already messed up. Might as well go ahead and get out of the truck, lay on the ground and tell them to start throwing bricks.
