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).
