What owners wrote
I purchased a new trailer to pick up my new tractor. I tested the trailer brakes knowing I was pulling a large load and didn't want an accident. The brakes appeared to apply but due to it not being loaded when testing I had it set to 5(out of 10). While pulling it back home on the interstate towing my tractor behind me there was traffic stopping ahead. I always drive in the right lane to not slow others...thank god I did.
