Brake Pedal to Floor !!!

Coming down the mountain this AM and pedal all the way down as I pulled up to the stop sign. Raining hard, with trailer, litely loaded (16000 gross) yes that is lite for me. Trailer brakes stopped me! This is not a new problem. So far, new pads and shoes, new rotors, master cylinder changed 3 times, booster twice, flushed 3 times, crops up intermittenly. ??? Mechanics are stumped, but I haul commercial so this has to be dealt with. I did not want to lose the load I was carrying as the customer would have a cardiac if we lost his 1950 (about) Chev 3 window fully restored pickup. I appreciate any input you can give. Thanks....R C
