to get the best out of ABS do you put foot on clutch and stamp on brakes 
serious answers please 
Just stamp on the brakes, no clutch - that way you still have engine braking too. 
My experience is that ABS is only any good if system in tractor unit is compatable with trailer system…and this seems to be a rare occurrence. You really need braking systems to operate at same pressure, you will often find unit operates at say, 10 bar, with trailer at 8 bar. Then the trailer does all the stopping, and waggling about . Vice versa, of course. I suspect it will get worse with the new units and old trailers. Just be careful out there

I cant imagine why the air pressure difference affects it.
ABS: Anti Blockier Systeme is electronic and is designed to stop the wheels locking at the last millisecond.
One point though, when you couple up to a trailer, turn off the engine and ignition before coupling the ABS lead, it can confuse the onboard computer

Realistically, if you need to get the get the best out of ABS, then you are driving too fast/too close, and you wouldn’t have time to think about the clutch. 
The main thing is to keep a constant firm pressure on the pedal.
The general blurb from the industry is that ABS does not enable you to stop quicker. It enables you to steer whilst braking. A locked wheel will always follow a straight path. See - Newton’s Laws of Motion.
ABS, by continually releasing the wheel to allow it rotate, allows a steered path to be followed.
At some point, usually about 18kph, ABS switches off. Otherwise the vehicle would never come to a halt. The ABS would be continually releasing the brakes no matter how hard you pressed the pedal. Logical when you think about it.
I think I’ve only had one occasion when I can say that I felt the ABS ‘kick in’, and that was when I wanted to turn left rather smartly. Going too fast. 
As it was a somewhat older vehicle, I hit the brakes fully expecting to have to go past the entrance and then reverse, But the ABS worked and got the speed down.
In the 1970’s I witnessed some of the earliest demonstrations of ABS at a disused airfield in Warwickshire. Honiley, I think it was. It worked, but the application intervals were more akin to being counted by a calender than a stopwatch. The speculation from the ‘techies’ at the time was that it might see the light of day for trucks, but not for cars.
It’s now available for motor cycles. It just shows how technology progresses.
