    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.
