False. A fully loaded truck generally has more mass, which can actually mean it takes longer to stop compared to an empty truck when considering the same amount of braking force.
While it is true that more friction is generated between the truck's tires and the road due to the increased weight of a fully loaded truck, this does not directly correlate to increased stopping power. In fact, the increase in mass can contribute to a longer stopping distance, as the kinetic energy of the truck (which is proportional to its mass) is greater when it is loaded.
Therefore, while friction plays a role, it does not directly make a fully loaded truck stop more quickly than an empty one.
