Get the truck brakes checked NOW! The next time they fail you might be coming up to a red light at a busy intersection.
Asking for brake repair on a discussion forum won't stop the truck.
That's what emergency brakes are for.
In a panic stop (Wrong way driver coming at me on 14 in Mojave ) I pushed the pedal to the floor, trailer brakes locked and the rig kept moving. The anti lock brakes are part of the equation also. Truck brakes are not going to lock and it gives you the impression that the truck is not stopping but it is. It traveled the same distance, my guess, as if the wheels were locked and you were skidding. My brake pedal was hitting the floor. My brakes didn't fail. The trailer brakes did their job.
Not sure what the OP experienced. Not enough information.
