    Dollies do not have piggyback chambers. So no break away protection is possible.

    Ours will grenade the brakes. That's what I meant by breakaway protection.

    Some of our dollies have spring-brake chambers on them, some don't. For those of you talking about dummy glad hands and blocking plates, don't your tail glad hands have shutoff valves on them, or inline?

    Ours do not. There are so many variations out there.

    You don't drive for UPS, do you? I know theirs have a unique setup.
