How does a driver test that the trailer emergency brakes are working on a doubles/triples combination?
Doubles/Triples (T) Endorsement • Free CDL Practice Question
Regulation
49 CFR 383.115(e); AAMVA CDL Manual Section 7.4.1, p. 7-4

This test confirms that if the tractor and trailer ever separate on the road, the trailer's own brakes will automatically apply and stop it rather than leaving a runaway trailer, a safety feature a driver must verify before every trip.
