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.

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.
