If you have a very high output alternator (I'm talking competition alternators of 300 amps or more), it is possible, and you'd typically have to run the positive direct to the starter... trying to jump it through the batteries would produce a lot of resistance and would burn up your jumper cables. However, the amperage required for the starter in a Class 8 truck is typically much greater than what a typical car alternator will produce, so you'd be better off either to hook up, let the car idle to charge the batteries, and start on battery power, or take two cars, have each one hook to the electrical system of the truck, and jump off of a combined 24 volts.
