Wheel chocks should be used when parking a trailer without spring brakes to prevent accidental movement caused by gravity or external forces. They provide a critical safety measure, ensuring the trailer remains stationary, especially on sloped surfaces. Additionally, using wheel chocks helps protect both the trailer and the vehicle it is attached to from potential damage or accidents. Overall, they are a simple yet effective tool for enhancing safety during parking.

They're not just on tractor-trailers - you'll find them on most air brake equipped vehicles. Spring brakes can be described as parking brakes. That's the simple answer. They are brakes which are held down by a spring. When air pressure is introduced into the system, via the service air system, the air pushes against those brakes, forcing the spring to compress, and releasing the brakes. The air pressure must remain constant in order for the spring brakes to remain released.
