WHILE BRAKING HARD FOR A TURN I CAME UP ON QUICKLY, AND AS I APPROACHED SLOWER SPEEDS, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM COMPLETELY RELEASED ALLOWING THE TRUCK TO SURGE FORWARD. I WAS JUST BEGINNING MY TURN AND I BELIEVE THERE WAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF SAND ON THE ROADWAY THAT CAUSED A WHEEL TO SLIDE MOMENTARILY BUT ALL THE BRAKES RELEASED IN A MANNER THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF THERE WAS A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE TRUCK MOVED FORWARD FOR A FULL 2 SECONDS PRIOR TO THE BRAKES RE-ENGAGING. THE BRAKES DID NOT IMMEDIATELY REAPPLY AS YOU WOULD EXPECT A PROPERLY WORKING SYSTEM TO BEHAVE. IT WASN'T THE RAPID APPLICATION YOU GET LIKE WHEN YOUR ON ICE. THE CONDITION HAS NOT REPEATED ITSELF TO DATE ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT TRIED TO RECREATE THE SAME CONDITIONS EITHER. *TR
