[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 3253929, member: 11315"] We're not suppose to pull a trailer off or put one on a UPS dock until the bay door is shut. At Amazon, they have a red light or green light next to the dock. Green means that the door and area is secure and you can move the trailer. We also have a few CPU accounts that put a lock on the trailer's red gladhand when it's on their dock. When you see one on, you are not suppose to even hook your tractor to the trailer. Not hooking up your red air line keeps the trailer's emergency brakes locked and the trailer will be difficult to move. Even with that safety guideline in place, a driver could still with enough force, pull it off the dock. One thing I've noticed is that when you put a trailer on the door, a driver may want to pull it back off a little to straighten it better. Some hub people will start messing with the chains to open the trailer, even before you've had a chance to shut your air valves. I think this leads to most injuries. [/QUOTE]
