    Wow! Looking at the pic, both gladhands are broke on trailer side. I wouldn't doubt he hit them with his fifth wheel when he hooked up, then used zip ties to hokd it together.

    If that's the case, abd he admitted it, yeah, arrest him
     
    D.Tibbitt and Oxbow Thank this.

    Looks like container chassis. Probably a yard dog, some rails I been to them guys drive foot on floor. Unhook airlines and slam chassis down

    Those glad hands looked relatively new. So either that container chassis was brand new, or it was reworked recently.

    Yeah sounds a bit unreasonable for sure. Get it out of the way and then fix it right.

    Just my observation here, but looking at those glad hands, the arrest was justified. Those glad hands didn't break while going down the road. Driver knowingly took an out of service vehicle on the road.
     
    Numb, D.Tibbitt and JonJon78 Thank this.

    I see the picture now! They definitely look just like my gladhands when I forgot to unhook them when detaching the neck on my double drop... lol
