When you lose air the brakes lockup, the air is used to release the brakes, parking brakes are stout on these medium trucks.
I suspect it was a slimy ramp and it just slid (wheels locked up)- will let Lubes confirm
That said- does the parking brake actuate all corners or just ther rear axle??

I pour bleach right on the ramp to kill the slime. Generally 2-3gallons works on our ramp. Have been slid back with a 6ton trailer and a 10 ton boat behind my Kenworth T800. Don't feel bad it happens to the best of us no matter how much you plan and prepare.

How about trying a wire brush (similar to what they use on pools etc....) on an extendable pole instead?
And no, I'm not an "animal hugger", just feel sorry for the little b@stards! haha.

I would think the bleach would make it more slick,unless ya kill the slim and rinsed the bleach off.
Like at the drag strips they called it the bleach box
