Stay Road-Ready
Tractor protection systems are critically essential vehicle components that frequently go unnoticed during trip and roadside inspections. During these inspections, officers ensure that the towing vehicle protection system (tractor protection system) operates correctly, particularly in the event of trailer separation.
Tractor Protection and Anti-Bleed Back Systems
A commercial motor vehicle's tractor protection system consists of a tractor protection valve, trailer supply valve, and anti-bleed back valve. Inspectors should evaluate all valves appropriately during a driver's pre-trip inspection and an inspector's roadside inspection.
