I have been told that Tennessee DOT is requring trailers be equipted with a
breakaway system so that if trailer comes loose from towing vehicle it will
automaticly apply trailer brakes
This brings on a couple of questions in my mind
1. Trailer made to be pulled behind M35 has connections to hook truck air
to trailer brakes, if trailer comes unhooked will brakes come on - I see
nothing on trailer to make this happen.
2. I have one of the thousands of 4 wheel tandem axle car hauling trailers
with electric brakes, I have been told that I will have to purchase a gizmo
that hooks into this system and has a battery in it that will apply brakes
should this trailer come unhooked. Anyone heard same thing???
