[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 2056358, member: 12508"] [B]All [/B]vehicles should have a working parking brake. The idea that you have to rely on a chock and/or wheel curbing is ridiculous. A professional driver would have curbed the wheels properly and not operated a truck in the first place without an operational parking brake. I use my chock as insurance if the brake fails or someone hits my truck. I always test the parking brake as part of a pre-trip. which I actually perform every day because it's my ass in the seat. One of the best examples of this extra layer of safety is fire departments, who always chock their trucks, even on level ground, just as an extra measure of safety. And it's a big metal chock, not some wimpy tug chock. [/QUOTE]
