I think I mean steering wheel holders.
Spent Monday in a TS wating for Tuesday unload.
Noticed driver trying to slide tandem, in and out and back and forth many times, so I went to help,
Brakes will not hold good enough to slide so driver has a chock block that is placed a few feet behind tires then locks down brakes and backs in to block to get tandems to slide.
Driver said brakes weren’t very good and carried chock block in truck . Sad
The rest of the story, truck is from Los Angles, woman driver and little English, I was in Manchester TN, she had come over Mont Eagle ior was going too.
if you get a trailer that bad don’t pull it, the life you save may be your own.
How dumb can truck drivers be?

That's a legitimate question. Lots if women drivers get flooded by men drivers for issues like this
CrappieJunkie and Chinatown Thank this. -
If the brakes won't hold.
Adjust them up. Shouldn't be driving around with loose brakes anyways.roadranger550 and TripleSix Thank this. -
those are the parking brakes and sometimes they are out of adjustment enough to not hold sliding the tandems they should be looked at but in a pinch the hand valve should hold enough to slide tandems
Coover and Trucking in Tennessee Thank this. -
trucking is full of the i don't care attitude
I've seen trailers needing glad hand seals for months, but drivers are to lazy to change them. even when they use the same equipment daily and there's a box of brand new ones 50 feet away -
JoeyJunk, tony97905, IH Truck Guy and 1 other person Thank this.

That's a shame. Seals? Those are easy peasy, takes a minute or so and the benefits are immense.
Now as for the dumb stupid stuff... *raises hand, been there done that. IF any one would trip over how stupid I have been it will be me. ha.deathB4decaf and Mike2633 Thank this. -
Go work for a company that does D&H at the border. You'll get so good at installing glad hand seals.
Opus Thanks this.
