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.

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.
