I'd say that I feel safer 3 feet beside a truck than 15 feet behind. In my bigass F350 with a HUGE tall 20x8x7 cube, I can raise my right foot when I'm beside a transport truck. As long as you're well back from the cab, you're not in a blind spot. I find that I need to be back from the cab before I feel the pull anyway.
