    When you have a trailer attached, do you only pre-trip the trailer?

    Grinding, crunching, ripping, tearing, loud thuds as pieces of metal ricochet off of the frame rails....you know, all the usual stuff that leads you to believe it might be a good time to coast over to the shoulder and stop.

    Then why would you even ask about pre-tripping if you are bobtail?

    Do you think drivers of straight trucks don’t do pre-trips? Any commercial vehicle should be pre, and post triped.

    Why the manufacturers don't have an audio warning for driving over a certain speed with the axles locked is unbelievable. Heck, the Intertrashional beeps every ten seconds you're in manual mode.

    They do. My new 579 re-inflates the airbags above 5mph. The power divider unlocks at 25mph if you leave the switch engaged.

    I'm pretty sure that Freightliners kick it back off around that same speed. At least my old Columbia did.
