About This Video

Stopping a truck empty versus loaded is an important topic for drivers. The comparison focuses on bringing a truck to a stop under different load conditions, so it is worth considering both situations in everyday driving. Keep the truck’s current load in mind when thinking about stopping and leave room to respond to changing conditions.

Key Takeaways

  • Consider the truck’s load when planning to stop.
  • Think about stopping in both empty and loaded conditions.

    That's because the brakes are designed to work under a load. It's like stopping with a bobtail vs a loaded trailer. Everything just bounces.
