    Reminds of the time the driver backed over the cliff and ended up on the highway at the pilot there in Needles, CA. Don't know how he did it but it sounds like a similar F-up!

    Not trying to be critical but that should be something you check every time your truck is out of your site and if it takes 5 seconds, you took a long time...

    On topic, I test my trolley brake after I hook up just to make sure it's working...Pull forward very slowly and pull it slowly to stop me...

    Ditto. That is the only time we were told to use it is just for trailer service brake checks. Other than that, keep your #### hands off of it!!!

    Doesn't the trailer brake lever say "NOT FOR PARKING" on it? Mine always have.
