If they aren't adjusting by themselves, something is wrong with them it seems. HappyKayakers wrote:

Haven't heard back from OP, whether talking truck or trailer.
His truck is new enough that it will have 4 wheel disc so the answer is trailer.
Not necessarily. My truck has 4 wheel disc brakes but the emergency brakes are drum and have the self adjusters on them.

Trailer brakes obviously cause truck parking brakes are NOT self-adjustingRoger10378 wrote:

Used to in the old days, backup quickly and hit the brake hard,
Trailer self adjusting brakes do so when going/braking forward
As for Dexter Never Adjust......YES they can be manually adjusted
The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust electric trailer brakes can be manually adjusted. There are a couple teeth of the adjustment wheel that are exposed just under the lever
Attached is a photo showing the teeth. You will likely need a tool with a fine edge such as a flat head screw driver for the adjustment wheel on these brakes. A brake adjustment tool may be too thick.
