| Summary of Issue | Missouri roadside inspector wrote 7 violations with 2 being out of service for brake violations when it was a glad hand disconnected (notated on the inspection). Once the driver hooked up the glad hand, the driver was allowed to leave the scene. |
| Justification or Need | The impact of one glad hand being disconnected led to an extremely large impact on this carrier's CSA Vehicle Maintenance score. |
| Request for Action | I respectfully request that an officer treat a disconnected glad hand like a disconnected pig tail situation. Allow the driver to re-hook the glad hand and then conduct the inspection. |
