Embodiments disclosed herein include a swivel connector assembly and method of securing a swivel connector assembly to a tractor-trailer system comprising a non-rigid, movable socket to reduce stress on the connection interface when a tractor makes a turn. The axis of the socket follows and approximates the axis of the tractor as the electrical cord stretches, while the swivel connector assembly provides more than a single axis of rotation to accommodate multiple angles of cord movement. The swivel connector assembly provides at least two separate and distinct rotation axes for the socket.
