"I am curious. Did your to vehicle brakes fail, or .... "

Yes, both truck and trailer brakes were too hot to stop the vehicle...this happened before we had the Jake brake installed, which would have helped, but....IMO just too much weight for too little braking power, combined with the long steep decent and my mistake on route selection all contributed to the near disaster.
