[QUOTE="Brown Now, post: 2354171, member: 45719"] Some snubbers disengage if the trailer brakes are set. If I'm stopping for just a few minutes and I'm on level ground, I only set the tractor brakes. I've seen this on older trailers as well as the brand new ones being delivered now. Why, I can't exactly tell you, but it does happen occasionally. FYI, in cold weather I ONLY set the tractor brakes. I meet a driver at a T/A point and switch out. In cold weather I keep air going through the trailers until he arrives and we both are getting ready to drop out. I've had trailer brakes freeze up in a matter of minutes and had to call a service. It of course was very cold and the roads were slushy. Unless you're on a pretty good hill, you only have to set your tractor brakes. [/QUOTE]
