I have a gooseneck trailer with 2 7k axles and a 20+5 deck that I pull with a 3/4 HD truck. The brakes work but don't seem to be 100%. These will not and they seem to be working at about 50% and I really feel like I am being pushed when I have a 5-8k load when brakeing. I have checked shoe adjustment, ground, tried different controllers and even hooked to a different truck with the same results. I am getting 12 volts at the axle when the brakes are on. Lights and everything else work great.
So, Should an empty gooseneck trailer be able to lock the brakes when going down the road at 10-15 mph? That's one way I test brakes but maybe I expect too much.
