Okay - back in the day we used to draft all the time, and not just one vehicle behind a semi - up to three. Eventually the driver would get pissed off, what we saved in fuel and power he had to expend, and start getting nasty. What a drafter gains the draftee loses.
If you have seen Fast and Furious AND especially Tokyo Drift you will have an idea of the skill set needed to do it safely. Unless your reflexes are super good and your vehicle is in tiptop shape with super good brakes and suspension you could be dead, or worse a vegetable.
I have seen light vehicles hit the turbulence and get "thrown" off of the road. Think of water skiing and crossing the wake. The better the streamlining on a semi combo, the worse the turbulence wall is.
Good Luck and safe driving
