Bob Ditto on what ericlb said. If you were able to move at all, the auto-adjust slacks weren't working, the linings were worn beyond service life, or both. Time for complete brake rebuild before next trip. Drums, shoes, return springs, seals are damaged by the heat. Much less expensive to do it now than have a service truck come out to the weigh/inspection station. I have seen complete brake jobs being done at weigh station, all 10 hubs. Imagine the price to have a service truck come out, dis-assemble everything to see what is needed, go back to town to pick up/order out & wait for parts to be shipped in, then go back to put everything together. Besides that, your customer is unhappy that his freight is a day or three late sitting beside the road. Worst of all, consider the possibility of a bad wreck caused by bad brakes. End of rant.
