Galahad, Alberta | I can't comment on the RWA question, but the reason that you don't use a jake on slippery roads is that the only wheels that are applying a braking force are the drivers, and the trailer may jack- knife and try to pass the tractor. On real slippery roads, such as during winter, you want your trailer brakes set up more than the tractor, so that they activate sooner and keep the whole rig running straight. Lots of drivers will use the spike brake only, but you have to have a smooth touch.
