A tractor-trailer stops nothing like a train, a train takes over a mile to stop at 60 mph. I've shut down trucks faster than that. To straighten you out the stopping distance is 3 to 1 or in plain talk 500 ft for the car 1500 for the truck. And most people do not realize that when the brake lights come on on a t-trailer it will travel another 100ft before the brakes begin to engage.and as far as you tring to explain trucks climbing hills,Todays new trucks gain speed quite nicley now that you can have almost 600hp and still get 8-9 mpg ands thats starting at a dead stop loaded with hogs at a draw bridge climbing almost straight up still going 55 at top so know your trucks a little better before you bash them THANKS
