    If they only remove the blue line your trailer brakes wont work and you wont know it until you try and use them. This is why you should always do a tug test with the hand valve after leaving your truck.

    I've heard of people putting a quarter in between the hands on the blue line. You wont see it without removing, or doing a tug.

    It is the red line. It is the same as trying to pull with brakes set. Blue line is your service brake meaning with a quarter there you won't have trailer brakes.

    This, a guy at work did this once (I know who it was, got himself fired not long after) and it's sooo not cool. Anytime I come back to my truck I check, every single time. PITA, but the one time it happens....
