1. An anti-lock braking system for a triple axle trailer having a body, a first wheel coupled to a first axle, a second wheel coupled to a second axle, and a third wheel coupled to a third axle, and each of the first, second, and third axles are coupled to the body and positioned along a longitudinal axis of the trailer, the system comprising:
a first wheel speed sensor coupled to the first wheel;
a second wheel speed sensor coupled to the third wheel;
a spring mount pivotably coupled to the body;
a first suspension member coupled to the first wheel and to the spring mount;
a second suspension member coupled to the second wheel and to the spring mount; and
a hydraulic braking actuator having a first channel coupled to the first wheel and the second wheel and a second channel coupled to the third wheel;
wherein the spring mount pivots in response to an applied brake torque to increase a normal force applied to the second wheel as compared to a normal force applied to the first wheel.
