    First thing to check is whether someone reversed your trailer air lines.

    When someone parks in the fuel island for more than 15 minutes, sometimes people will switch the air lines around. Lord knows I have wanted to/but never will do it.

    What? how long have you been driving a truck? You should be pulling out the yellow button every time you stop. You should NEVER leave the truck with just the gear holding it. These are not cars. I hope you were joking.

    I've seen guys just remove the blue one. Always check your trailer brakes before taking off and do a tug to make sure no one pulled ur fifth

    If you only remove the blue glad hand no damage will happen. If someone crosses the line, a valve could blow. If anyone was to do either of these, the first is the better option.
