The end result you have is blocked wheel, a lot of noise, smoke and probably if you don’t realize this at very beginning you will need to buy a new tire too. As soon as you notice this stop the truck immediately.

After the long drive when you decided to take a deserved brake on a trucks stop before you head towards rest room or lunch make a small walk around the truck and see if you can smell something weird like burned rubber or burned metal.

One of the possible signs that will tell you that something went wrong is also a weird smell from your truck. This usually happens because the truck brake calipers are not stacked in a way that they will block the wheel completely but they are applying small but constant pressure during drive on the brake pads and brake disc. You will notice this by weird smell and in some cases this can even burn the disc or brake pads.
Brake calipers may cause this but the reason for this can also be a old brake oil or simply the level is wrong. Check entire system to notice this.
6. Tires Warmer Than Usual
It depends what is the season of the year this could be hard to notice and I mean especially in the summer when everything is burning due to hot other is some states. But if you happen to notice this during some not so cold days this can also be a sign of mis functioning brake calipers.
