When I was studying for my CDL in the early 90's they talked about the "Johnson" bar in the cab for the trailer brakes and how you'd apply them to keep trailer in line, avoid jackknifing, etc but when I went to upgrade back a few years ago there wasn't any talk about that. Actually they only used it to test the trailer brakes before the start of the trip for the practical and that was it's only mention/use.
Old school guy here and yes the Johnson bar was my early friend for the most part. Zero ( or almost) tractor brakes and maybe 90% leased trailer brakes. No brainer really.
The Johnson bar is really no different than your manual slide bar for the trailer brake controller. Well maybe one is air and the other is electric but the same concept.
