    When I am dropping the air out of a tractor to decouple from a trailer the truck alarms to tell me the air is blowing out of the suspension.

    Why don’t these trucks have a warning system like that?

      They are supposed to. But I’ve heard from drivers in the dump truck industry that the alarms are often disabled by drivers because “they are annoying”.

      My tractor I can’t dump the airbags if I’m going over 10km/h, can’t release the 5th wheel slider if trailer parking brakes are released, and tons of other safety features.
