Ken,
Maybe I am using the improper term per say, ie trailer brakes need to stop both truck and trailer. As noted, if field tested, the brakes had better hold or stay locked up. A single axle trailer say rated at 3500 as I had, may not hold a Class 8 tractor, but the brakes had better stay locked up in the field test as I described, or the trailer will be illegal on the hwy due to a fail braking system.
