Yes. When landing gear is lowered, the truck is more stable, making it easier and safer for a forklift to enter when the truck is backed up to a loading dock.
On rare occasions, when winds exceed 50 mph and you are stopped to sleep, landing gear can help keep the truck stable and help you catch better zzz's. Be sure to raise the landing gear before you depart as leaving it down can have a negative effect on fuel economy.
