How long for a truck going 35 mph to stop when breaks lock?

It depends on the size of the truck, the load it is hauling, and road conditions. At 35 mph you are traveling 51.3 feet per second. A semi truck with a load and one passenger traveling at 35 MPH will require around 130 feet to stop. I pick up truck with one passenger will require around 92 feet to stop. These figures are for a dry pavement condition.
