Some companies have strict no-drop policies unless at a terminal or a shipper's facility. And as I mentioned in another thread, those same companies have "rats" that will report a dropped trailer they may see [if your company has a no-drop policy]
Otherwise, just use common sense, and drop as a last resort and use a kingpin lock and keep a good lock on the right door if you must.

No, trucking is all about driving 100 hours a week. It’s a lifestyle.
Anyone who enjoys anything outside of their truck is in the wrong line of work. -
