How much force does a load on a trailer transfer horizontally when braking?

Post Body
Hi, I'm not an engineer. Me and my buddies were talking today about what amount of support is required to keep a load on a trailer from moving foreward when braking (or backwards when accelerating but that wouldn't be nearly as much as hard braking). One of my buddies who is a truck driver said it's load mass x3. Is that true and would that mean that a 3000 lb load would need supports that can handle 10000 lb to keep it from moving. All of this is assuming no friction.
