To not trust the brakes on your truck is a sign of
poor maintenence. To remember the limitations is good
driving. If you haven't adjusted the brakes before,
it can help a lot. I've had to put the binders on a
few different times and I'm glad I had my seat belt
on. Of course I wasn't grossing 30,000lbs.+ either
but at 20,000 lb. my truck stops decent.
