What happens when you are driving 25-30 mph and activate the brake controller's manual lever? Do the trailer brakes slow the truck? How much force do you feel?

If I dial my controller all the way up (it's a GMC, so only one gain of 0-10) and do the above, it pulls on the truck pretty hard, but does not quite lock up the trailer brakes. I think this is due to the fact that I've not yet adjusted the brakes since they've burnished-in - something on my todo list.
