Totally. I don’t know if semis are as susceptible to hydroplaning as cars, but I had an awful hydroplaning incident 15 years ago that still scares me. Regained control after what felt like hours of fishtailing.
Semi driver here. No accidents but I have definitely hydroplaned in a fully loaded truck. Load was around 45k putting the total vehicle weight at around 75k.
I felt the hydroplaning start and I clenched hard enough to shit diamonds.

Right after I wrote that I hydroplaned halfway through Wisconsin. Apparently they like to leave a small river in the center of each lane.
