    I have 15' hoses which are too long of course. Any ideas on securing them?

    You could get shorter lines. Why do you have such long lines on such a short wheel base truck anyway?

    I thought the same thing, then i thought about how my lines also hang and are super long for my short wheelbase. But if i didnt have that, id rip the lines out of the gladhands. I need the longness for when backing. I jackknife the trailer a lot to get into some of my customers.

    Just yesterday i went to a new customer, i was looking at the trailer tandems on my 38 foot tanker, out my passenger window.

    So, being the Op is a flatbedder, hes probably putting that trailer through some extreme angles.

    It really is though, excessive that he has that much laying down on the catwalk. Hang it up op.

    I posted a thread couple days ago wondering if I should get the 12 or 15 feet lines... Guess I got my answer here I'll go with 12.

    Thanks,

    I originally used them on another truck with a dry van. I might have to sell them and purchase a shorter set. I'll look into your recommendations. Hopefully something will work out.

    I have two of those springs spaced several feet apart on the hose. Works fine.

    Not sure what length we are running, but you can run an extra loop to take up slack.
