So this has happened to me a couple of times and I’m curious if it has happened to you.
On a few occasions, I have docked into a dock and set my tractor breaks but not my trailer breaks. I do this daily out of habit but sometimes the dock workers go to my trailer to unplug my trailer airlines.
At first they are scared and confused because a bunch of air just gets released and it’s extremely loud. Then they get pissed because they expected me to have set it.
All I can say is don’t touch my trailer without permission and just ask me to set my trailer breaks.
I don’t understand how some people can be so arrogant. Imagine if I messed with their vehicles breaks. That’s a lawsuit, I’m not sure what is legal and illegal in this case.
Are they allowed to do that?

Plenty of places will put a lock on the glad hand to prevent you from moving. Mainly the one's that have had drivers pull out with a forklift still in the trailer.

Not to be snarky, but if this is the biggest issue you have consider yourself blessed beyond measure. I mean, really.
They’re driving a forklift into and back out of your box, loading or unloading freight, careful not to punch holes in the unit, and you’re offended by someone touching your air line?
