It would only be of value to me if I was going to make a living as a truck driver.As learning that they work differently, I have never in my life driven a semi and I know that already.  Just like I know flying a plane is also very different, despite seeming superficially similar.  When I spoke of semis being harder to turn, harder to park, harder to change lanes in, and needing longer distances to brake, that was knowledge I have without ever having spoken to a truck driver or taken semi lessons.</blockquote>
