When I was at Schneider, they bought some old trucks off Crete for Walmart dedicated. Schneider-spec'd trucks had a switch for applying trailer brakes on the dash and no hand brake. The Crete trucks did not have that switch, but did have the hand brake. When you came around to the shop with a trailer with inoperative service brakes, they would ask how you knew. "Put it in low gear, hit the clutch, pulled hand brake, didn't stop". "You're not supposed to use that" "Please explain how I am to test that my trailer brakes are operating without using it" Then they'd go out and fix the trailer brakes, and disconnect the hand brake, so if you really wanted to get p***y with them, you could refuse to pull a trailer with the truck because you had no way to test that the trailer brakes were working.
They would even disconnect the suspension dump if one of the mechanics saw you use it to pull out from under a trailer.
