Rusty, AFAIC if you have the handle locked open every time, at some point you'll will forget to remove the pin and the above will happen when hitching up. KISS. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this.
I only lock the handle open to unhitch, never to hitch. When hitching, I watch for the handle to move to the closed position to ensure that the kingpin is fully engaged with the jaws and then pin it closed and hook up the breakaway cable when I get out of the truck.
