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. You might have noticed at the end of our videos I try to promote other channels, not being in your face about it just putting one that we like up in the corner. I would encourage you to check them out, there is a lot of cool and interesting people in the world. If you go so far as to shoot them a sub, drop them a line to tell them we sent you!
