do you chock your TC's tires?

I always chocked the tires on my trailer when I used it. Should I be chocking the truck's tires when I'm using the TC?

I do use the parking brake. ;)
  • My TC doesn't have tires. I do use the emergency brake on the truck. ;)
  • I put the truck in gear, set the parking brake AND chock the tires. I have camped in some backwoods areas where if anything went wrong while sleeping it would end up not being very good.

    Fair enough. But once the truck is "level" on "leveling" blocks, I would assume it's "level", and therefore would not be "unlevel". :)
  • I've never 'perched' my tires on levelling blocks...anywhere an d no I don' chock them either. My truck has a 'Park' detent on the shifter. That does the job for me.

  • I've never worried about it. Do you chock your tires when you park at the store? :)
