[QUOTE="MaceFremonti, post: 2169725, member: 36696"] The way I was trained was to wrap the airline around the pintle hook so that if the glad hand.comes loose.you aren't dragging it down the interstate for a few hundred miles. When you pretrip your front box you should be checking the pintle hook's action as well as the grommets on the glad hands, since you have everything already open you can then route the hose up and around so that when/if you yap the dolly nothing gets pinched. Same when you pretrip the dolly, you check the glad hand grommet then route the line so that it won't get pinched. Personally, when I drop my back trailer and post trip it I open up the pintle and route the line so that the guy behind me is already to go, same with my lead after I drop the dolly. [/QUOTE]
