Where is everyone #5

I could probably write one on tire shops too.

 

I’m thinking about moving the glad hands to a bracket I’ll make and attach it near landing gear and move the truck air lines through the frame to the rear. I’m tired of tripping over the air lines on the cat walk.

Has anyone done this and regrets it? I’ll leave the glad hands on the front and will get new ones with a valve so any truck could move the trailer. Wondering if DOT will have an issue with it.

 

Seen it several times and considered it myself. The ones I've seen the light cord and air lines stayed attached to the trailer.

My biggest worry would be snow or ice accumulating on the lines and pulling them down. I've made lots of service calls for slider lines that got heavy with ice and drug the ground

 

I’ve only seen it once and they used the curly air lines. Could always have a spring holding them up. My idea was glad hands on both ends of the air lines.

 

Not exactly apples to apples but all trucks with a pintle attach the airlines like that.

 

That's how I was thinking too. Take lines completely off. Took pics of one guys rig. Think he called it "California" style.

I found a thread on here about them

The last 3 describe me pretty good.

 

Its close enough to 5 o'clock. No calls today, can finally get some #### done.

 

Start with a cold adult beverage.

Then something like this.

 

I gotta taper off a bit, I'm roofing.
