The stopping distance for a semi truck traveling at 55 mph can vary depending on several factors, including the truck's weight, brakes, road conditions, and driver reaction time. On average, it can take a semi truck about 300 to 400 feet to come to a complete stop, which includes both reaction time and braking distance. This is significantly longer than a passenger vehicle due to the truck's size and weight.
To drive a semi truck, you need a specific driving license that allows you to drive that class of vehicle. As well, as proper education and training such as driver's ed.
