Depending on what the truck is, it may have air brakes, air-over-hydraulic brakes, or hydraulic brakes. Air brakes may be foundation brakes, to include flat cams (very rarely seen), S-cams (the most common), or wedge brakes (not so common anymore, although they are sometimes used on the steer axles of heavy haulers and vocational trucks), or they might be disc brakes, or now, even piston brakes (as far as I know, UPS is the only major carrier which uses them). Depending on country, truck brakes will either use ABS (in N. America) or EBS (in Europe).

Does friction effect braking force?
Most certainly for without friction the braking system would fail no matter how much force was applied.
What makes a truck not accelerate?

What is the antilock braking system?
Antiliock braking system is the mechanism which controlls the braking of brakes, If the pedals are fully pressed it will oppose the motion to protect your braking
What is the difference in a hybrid truck and a gas propelled truck?
A hybrid truck will run on electricity generated by the braking system. It will also run on gasoline when needed, just like a regular truck. Hence better gas mileage.
