Before uncoupling, why check that there is enough room around the trailer?
- A.The trailer will be left standing there, so it must not block traffic, docks, or fire lanes, and must be clear of hazards
- B.Room only matters for the tractor
- C.Any spot in a yard is acceptable
- D.Space is only a courtesy to other drivers
Correct answer
A. The trailer will be left standing there, so it must not block traffic, docks, or fire lanes, and must be clear of hazards
Why
An uncoupled trailer becomes a parked obstacle for hours or days. Choosing a clear, legal, stable spot protects it and everyone who must work around it.
