LIKE MANY HERE, I once coupled up a trailer with the parking brake off... Luckily there was no damage or injury on that occasion, but I have been paranoid about it ever since. So many times, just as I am about to put the red line on,! chicken out, climb down and look in the cab to make sure the brake is on.
It seems to me that it would be an easy thing for manufacturers to put some kind of indicator on the back of the cab so we could sec before we make the connection.
Not a light, but a mechanical flag so that it would not fail.
