a.Never, the fifth wheel holds the trailer
b.Only on flat ground
c.Only when the tractor is attached
d.When you are not sure the trailer spring brakes will hold it, such as an empty or brakeless trailer
Explicación
You should chock the trailer wheels whenever you are unsure the trailer will stay in place, such as a trailer without spring brakes or one parked on a slope. Chocks keep the trailer from rolling during coupling or uncoupling. This protects you from a runaway trailer while you work between the units.
