sorry if its old news
Interesting!
I’ve gone back down several flights of stairs, just to double/treble/quadruple check I’ve put my hand brake on.

Used to be a favourite game of mine on a ferry.
Go upstairs with someone and just as you get to the restaurant say, “Did you put your handbrake on?” They usually say something like, “Yeah, why?” at which point you can just shake your head and say, “Doesn’t matter.” They will, without fail go back down to check.
Just shows how strong the fifth wheel/king pin connection is

obvioulsy not chained either
and judging by the good crane work and the boat drivers skill it´s not the 1st time that it has happened either
If the driver had still been in that it would have been more of a case of touching cloth.
Well Boss!!!

Indeed. It works even better if you do it on the train and you wait until you are in the club car. They can’t go back and check so they have a very uncomfortable journey and the look of relief when they see their truck again is a little amusing.
The one side effect for me of the modern trucks is the auto box and the inability to leave it parked in gear for that extra piece of mind 
Luckily I drive a Volvo so my paranoia is calmed by the use of the Broms brake 
I know a couple of folks with autos, one a DUF the other a Scania,who share my insanity The DUF driver frantically pumps the brake pedal to drop the air before exiting the cab 
The Scania driver has a clip for his dusty gun thingy that locks it in the on position to drain the air.
Good to know I’m not alone
