I do draft trucks but at a safe distance. Get too close and the turbulance in the wake will have a negative effect on aerodynamics, and it is not safe.
I only draft trucks that have a low rear crash bar and flaps. I almost never get any rubbish kicked up by those. Hits by stones kicked up by other cars in the lane next to me, that happens much more often.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
