not sure what all the comments about the brakes are about, as long as the air tanks are full, the brakes will release, he will run out of air after a couple brakes and then the brakes will lock till he gets more air, or manually over ridden, but you most certainly do not need the truck running
If he had a tank of air, than yes the brakes would release. Wouldn't take to many taps on the brakes to deplete the air, so you would need the truck running to keep the air pressure up. That and most trucks I had the pleasure of driving, lost air pressure at a steady rate when not running.
Same experience with me. You can not count on the air staying in the tanks very long.
