Failing to know your braking system will get you into deep deep trouble.
You have heard the news reports of the truck that lost it's brakes...it didn't 'loose' them, they either were not propely adjusted, over-heated, or the driver ran out of air.

Have they changed the way Air Brakes work? When I was driving the trailertrucks, and busses And you ran out of air. The brakes locked up. When the low air buzzer came on, You better get off the road NOW, or you'll be stopped on the road. "Some" had a duel stage air system, and if you lost air. You could push the button half way in, and be able to release the brakes long enough to pull off the road. Do they not work like that any more?
