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.

They would even disconnect the suspension dump if one of the mechanics saw you use it to pull out from under a trailer.
