The problem with the concept that a car can stop quicker than a truck is that by the time that you get the first indication that the truck is going to stop/slow quickly the truck driver already has his foot on the brake and is applying pressure.
A truck does not have to come to a complete stop to create a large difference in speed between it and the car following. Depending on how much room the driver of the following car gave himself to see, react to, and avoid the developing hazard will go along way in deciding if he needs a tow truck.
