    this will land you a temp shutdown until you put it on the hook and itll show on your mvr. Ask me how i know.

    I was told, new law as of 2018, landing gear must be secure, secure means held on by a working park of the tractor. Which means you cant use a bungee cord unless one side of the bungee cord is attached to tue frame of the trailer.

    My mvr so an inspection violation now bc my handle wasnt hung up. A hard bump could cause that and not to mention the 100s a week i see driving with them indone.

    Anyway hopes this helps
