Question:

A tractor with which of the following type of trailer requires the most amount of stopping distance?

A Empty
explanation

Control your speed whether fully loaded or empty. Large combination vehicles take longer to stop when they are empty than when they are fully loaded. When lightly loaded, the very stiff suspension springs and strong brakes give poor traction and make it very easy to lock up the wheels. Your trailer can swing out and strike other vehicles. Your tractor can jackknife very quickly [California Commercial Driver Handbook]
