need more information, how much does it weigh, is the ground level, is this on pavement, is the pavement wet or dry, are all axles ABS, that's about it, i guess. but a rough guess for a fully loaded 18 wheeler is about 300 yards, or 3 football fields.

550 feet atleast you figure 100 feet for every 10 mph if the road is wet you will need more distance between you and the car or truck in front

Depends on the wt. and road conditions. A loaded trailer will stop better than an empty on dry roads. It sounds wrong , but an empty one slides easier, the wt. holds the tires down.

Depends on if you hit the thing that caused you to brake in the first place. LOL
