Loaded, between 250 and 300 feet, if the brakes are cool before being applied. With brakes already hot, it may take up to twice that distance. Keep this in mind before you decide to cut directly in front of one.

Explain why a tractor trailer can be filled completely with butter but only partially be filled with steel?

Trucks are limited to weighing 80,000 pounds. On my truck, I could put 47,000 pounds of freight in the trailer. (I once hauled a truckload of Budweiser. They put beer in the trailer, weighed me, then put even more beer in the trailer. By the time I left, I weighed 79,200 pounds.)Since butter is far less dense than steel, you can put more of it in a trailer.

If you're referring to the distance between the trailer axles and the drive axles of the tractor, they're allowed to be a maximum of 41 feet apart, except in California, where they're only allowed a 40 ft. bridge between the two.
