John's truck has more mass than his brother Thomas' truck.

John's truck has more inertia than Thomas' truck.

If both trucks get equal force, John's truck will accelerate more slowly than Thomas' truck.

John's truck needs more force to accelerate.

If both trucks are just sitting there, John's truck needs more force to start moving.

We don't know anything about the efficiency of either truck. Or the efficiency of either brother, for that matter.
