I am going to pick up a 105 tomorrow with my civi truck, are there any considerations on towing? Especially how do the air brakes work? air activates or releases the brakes?

The air would activate it. If you are towing with a CIVI truck then I assume you have no hookup. You can still tow it but you will have no working brakes. I towed mine back with a Navigator and it towed it nicely, just had to plan my stops a little more.

Okay, sounds good. I am towing with a 2500 cummins ram.

If it has both the service and emergency air lines and you go to move it and it doesn't want to move you need to reach under and open the drain in the air tank. (of course if you also made sure the hand brakes are off)
That will let the emergency lock up release.

You will need civy tow lights also. Magnetic is good....zip tying them on the trailer is better.

Got the trailer today, mine didn't have a jack on the steel wheel, boy was that fun. I had to knock the sliding lock out, and to the ground she went.

The landing leg jack won't go low enough anyways. A high lift jack is your friend.
