People usually talk about the ability to see hazards before the semi reacts to them, not the excitement of constantly being alert, and instantly reacting to hazards.

I do not know anything about the migration patterns of unladen gators, but if semi tires are forty inches tall, then a gator could be ten feet long. If you figure that, on average, they lay at a forty-five-degree angle, they would occupy up to seven feet of the lane, or you could have a jagged obstacle course.
