A tractor trailer jacking assembly f includes a plurality of jacks that is each mounted on a bottom of a tractor trailer. Each of the jacks is positionable in an extended position to engage the ground to inhibit the tractor trailer from tipping. A control circuit is mounted on a semi tractor and the control circuit detects the speed of the semi tractor. A gyroscope unit is mounted on the semi tractor to detect a degree and a direction to which the semi tractor is tipping. The control circuit actuates the respective jacks into the deployed position on a corresponding side of the tractor trailer when the gyroscope unit detects the semi tractor has tipped beyond a pre-determined angle of tilt.
