They would sure appear to be service and emergency brake lines.
Not sure what big hoses would be involved in sliding the tandem’s….it’s usually a big handle to pull the pins and then pull against the brakes
Urgent help! Stucked at Walmart.

This might help clarify what he's asking. I'm thinking he had a minor air leak, ignored it, and now he has a major air leak.
What is this called?Siinman, slim shady, blairandgretchen and 1 other person Thank this. -
I will make this simple as anc. ..the 2 small red and blue hoses runs under the trailer, then connects to two big black hoses, then th 2 black hoses connects back to the blue and red hoses. Can I eliminate the
two black hoses? Simple!

Since it involves your brakes , I’d call a road service .
If you were empty , and if you were only a few miles away from your destination , and if you knew how to cage the brakes, etc , and if you were pretty confident you weren’t gonna get a random roadside inspection , you might could safely do it ,
But if you got into an accident , even one that wasn’t your fault , and the responding officers noticed it or they called the DOT on duty officer , you’d be in a heap of trouble .
lot cheaper to call a road service
patching air lines or replacing gladhands is easy job for them . -

Thanks for your help. I was able to move to the closest truck part store the next morning (this morning).

Good deal
I used to carry a tackle box full of assorted hose fittings and connectors , unions , elbows etc
Make sure you get the fittings that are DOT approved for use on trucks ,
Not just the garden variety fittings from the hardware store .
I used to carry extra gladhands and a spare electric cable , spare lights , jumper cables , tow strap etcSiinman, Arctic_fox and Ikamob01 Thank this. -
