I get my brakes adjusted every spring during the annual inspection
The trip to Fundy this year involved a panic stop down a 10 percent grade
No warning before but some unintelligent lineman had communication cables low slung across the road at the bottom of this grade which also has a turn
I was literally on top of a guy waving his arms for me to stop

Maybe, though I'm just talking about during my low speed "are they grabbing hard enough and releasing" test I do as I head towards the road. I don't know if the extra 500 pounds of water would make a significant difference when the truck & trailer together weigh 15K pounds.
Probably just need adjusting. Should have done it last year, even brand new it was requiring 8.5 gain to get the stopping power I wanted. I don't have another trip planned until the end of this month, so I got time to work on the adjustment. Come to think of it, I'm going to check the wiring connections at the hubs first. That would explain a sudden reduction in power.Current: 2021 Transcend 261BH, 2019 Ford F250 SRW SWB CC 6.2 - Picture

You an assume that all ratings except one have built in safety margins. The one and most important exception occurs when (if) you are involved in an accident and there is a law suit. Your rig being overweight is not going to help your case or your conscience if someone is hurt.

That, of course, presupposes that the overweight allegation can be proven, and shown to be a contributing factor.
