When you separate the two pedals it gives you the ability to operate the brakes independently. That comes in handy for tight turns or getting out of mud. If you have a heavy load it takes the weight off your steering axle and you can steer the tractor with the brakes.

What Are spring brakes on a tractor trailer rig?

They're not just on tractor-trailers - you'll find them on most air brake equipped vehicles. Spring brakes can be described as parking brakes. That's the simple answer. They are brakes which are held down by a spring. When air pressure is introduced into the system, via the service air system, the air pushes against those brakes, forcing the spring to compress, and releasing the brakes. The air pressure must remain constant in order for the spring brakes to remain released.
