[QUOTE="pickup, post: 459041"] I am only using this as an example of what can happen when your airlines are not completely secure. When you hook up your airlines, the fit is usually pretty secure, but SOMETIMES , the fit is loose and if so, the probability of them coming off is greater . What you can do is take a hammer and lightly bang the groove (lack of better word) on the trailer glad hand and move it slightly so that the gladhand is snugly in place and hence your airline will stay coupled. If you do it right, the airline will come off when you take it off and you did a favor for anyone else driving that trailer in the future. Also, when you cut a sharp turn in the yard after hooking up.. When you straighten out, take a look at your glad hands of airlines . Have they moved at all? If they did, ,its hammer time. Two Slight tap is all that is needed sometimes. My method, not ups's , but never had a glad hand come off during a trip. But that is for the future, if you are training to take a road test, let us know, because you can't driver a feeder if you can't pass the road test (which can be arbitrary depending on who in the dmv is grading you) [/QUOTE]
