Hmmm, generally your park button pops out due to low air pressure; try building your air up, then push and hold the button in until it holds itself in ;]

Some of these buttons thread on to the valve, others use a pin behind the handle.

...if neither of these comments help, maybe we need a better description of the problem?

the red knob that you pull to supply air to and from the trailer has popped off.. its just the metal bracket thats showing, there's usually a pin you can put in the hold it in place but again its the knob that has popped off....

The trucks we have are complete POS, one guy has a truck whose 7,000 over on his PM and the company wont put it in the shop.. And the company is Milan Express!! The only reason i left Crosby because i was starting to sit at truck stops for a day and only running 1400 miles a week but little did i know that there freight gets slow during late November and December... **** i should of never left Crosby.. i want to go back but things ended on a sour note when my truck had broke down the week i was planning to leave, i want to go to Cressler out of PA but im trying to avoid the two weeks out thing you know??

So, it's the knob itself that is off?
There is a pin that holds it on to the valve. You can get anything that will fit through the hole to keep the knob on there. Wire, cotter key, little bolt/nut. Sure beats having to use a pair of pliers to push in/pull out the valve. Next time you stop at a truck stop that has a shop, you might go see them, and see if they got anything that can keep that knob on there.

Cressler sucks !!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't wait to get the hell out of there. They "tried" screwing me when i gave my two week notice. I was getting crap for miles, then they lied to me on my last trip. If you want to know more just send me a message.
