I’ve answered this before so I know the question is missing an important given and that given is: <span>1 has an empty trailer and the other has a fully loaded one.

So, it would be the fully loaded trailer that would take a longer distance to stop because a lot of weight is being pulled, and when the brakes are started, the fully loaded trailer is more like pushing against the truck.</span>
