If the brakes have been maintained, then there no reason why it shouldn't be able to stop the same as any other 6 axle semi of similar loading and probably as quick or possibly even quicker than one that is empty. But if you are thinking in terms of how fast a 4-wheeler weighing 3 or 4000 lbs. can panic stop then no, not a chance. Veteran Truckers rarely ever allow themselves to get in panic stop situations unless some suicidal idiot cuts in front of them then gouges on their brakes
