[QUOTE="budlight, post: 3621850, member: 60619"] Indecision, the next day you work, pull the "trolley" or trailer brake handle when you get in, prior to hooking up to anything. That escaping air you hear means you don't have your service (blue line) brakes connected. Your service brakes are what stops you when you push the floor pedal. That supplies air to all brakes, tractor and trailer(s). Your trailer brake handle only supplies the brakes to the trailers. When your air runs low (60 ish psi), the trailer (yellow button) brakes are going to lock up. When you get to 30 ish psi then your tractor (red button) brakes will lock. Go slow and make sure everything is working properly. I had a lot more to say, but I've been drinking and I can't remember. Ignore that :censored:nugget that can't be helpful and wants to denigrate a new guy into this. Ask whatever you need to. I'm still learning and hopefully I always will be. [/QUOTE]
