There is no set number of feet of following distance. Too arbitrary. Even the old "one car length for every 10mph" for cars is inaccurate, that's too close-- and also arbitrary. Follow no closer than you can react in the event of anything unexpected. No closer than you can see the truck cab mirrors, there is a rule --if you can see the drivers mirrors, he/she can see you. If you are too close to see mirrors, back off..way off. Weather plays a role. Speed, condition of road. Two-lane high-speed, or Freeway. Far behind enough you can see what's ahead. I have learned patience, my life is worth more than getting to my destination 5 minutes sooner. OK, this is a long-winded way of saying a long way back.
