What happens when a truck driver’s CDL is suspended, the carrier’s Motor Carrier of Property Permit is suspended, and the truck tractor’s registration has been expired for 9 months now?

When the locking mechanisms, which secure the kingpin to the fifth wheel, are not coupled correctly, the trailer can become detached from the tractor. Imagine being behind a vehicle when that happens. Thankfully, one of our officers caught this before anything happened.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has designated May 19–June 1, 2025, as the national “Click It or Ticket” campaign. Ensure everyone in your vehicle is properly buckled—seat belts and child safety seats save lives. Every trip. Every time.

A pintle hook, if not properly secured and the latch is open, combined with no safety chains, can allow the trailer to disconnect from the towing vehicle. A disconnected trailer can become a runaway hazard, potentially colliding with other vehicles or pedestrians.
