Why is it easier to stop a lightly loaded truck than a heavier one that has equal speed?

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to its mass, a = F/m. Therefore, a less massive truck would be easier to accelerate ("decelerate") to a stop than a more massive truck.
