The truck should be parked on level ground, if at all possible. If parking must be done on a grade, the truck should be positioned at right angles to the grade. 2. The parking brake must be applied and/or chocks placed fore/aft of wheels so that the truck cannot roll. Each truck should be parked at a reasonable distance from another. 3.
