It’s not only we can’t see you, You can’t see what is ahead.  
what if there is a sudden lane shift ( trucker ) and you strike a cop or someone on the side of the shoulder broke down.

Convoys are crazy dangerous, the other trucks behind the leader can’t see what is ahead either, just cb communication and small you is behind them :nuts:
