I saw a 60's something grain truck loaded with wheat plow into the back of another grain truck loaded with wheat one time. Had a grand stand view because i was in a truck doing 55 or so about 100 feet away meeting them on a two lane. There was a big WHUMP, the wheat in the back truck flew up over the cab, and they were past me.

It made me much more aware of what bad brakes can do to a person in a tight situation.
