The trucks brakes are designed/tested to stop its GAWR's at a minimum by the truck maker. Most 3/4 ton trucks today have the same braking systems as the higher rated one ton SRW sisters.
Example is a F250 with a 6000 FAWR and a 6200 RAWR = 12200 lb of braking performance.
The trailer may have two 6k axles = 12000 lb of braking performance.
Together they have a 24200 lb of combined braking performance which is one reason we don't see brakes as a issue on our trucks and trailers as we did some years back.
