In winter, I will also put about a shot-glass full of airline anti-freeze into the glad-hands to keep the lines from freezing up on the trailer.
like I said you and the very very few posting here are the minority (very small minority) of drivers that set tractor/trailer at a dock ,As most drivers don't ,and only do when dropping the trailer ...this minority also applies to using wheel chaulks at docks other than where cutomer insists .
