Explanation

Answer: D - Driver must inspect the gladhands before they make their air hose connections. Things to look for include missing grommets (which should be inside the gladhand), cracked grommets, and gladhands that may have been damaged. If any of these conditions exist, drivers must have the problem fixed before moving the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in loss of braking ability once on the road.
