To chock or not to chock a truck with spring brakes.  In theory when the springs set the wheels are locked.  Period.  So do you need to bother?  After collecting a few stories of accidents, especially involving children in the cab I say yes because sometimes crazy stuff happens.  However it seems to me that the real issue isn't chocks it is accidental disengagement of the parking brakes so I built a way to stop that.
