If the truck was following another truck, say a airliner, it's very hard to see much ahead at all, you're basically relying on the preceding truck as your eyes and do whatever he's doing.
Whilst it's ok to say keep a 3 seconds gap or 80m, reality is, during peak hour, all that gap does is invite a bunch of ignorant car drivers in to your reaction space and every time you adjust, another will invite themselves in.
Unless you've been in that situation you really don't know how much it happens.
