Would you take one from another driver who kept one warm in one of those places?

Glad hand seal are the cheapest, easiest to change and arguably most often changed part(especially d/h operational) on a truck.
Could someone explain why they don't have extra?

Because I used all 8 before I got through an operating center to pick up more.

I expect this to be bait for you to answer incorrectly.
You actually should have a few gladhand seals in your truck.

I worked for an idiot. One day he hooked up blue line. It was leaking. He licked the seal. Then no leak. He said: see... good as new.

He's the idiot? You sure?
