Trust me I have been tempted by this every single day. Though being almost completed my engineering degree I have learned that yes it is completely possible to roll up and just sit there but also that you have very little chance of it being successful due to speed relativity. The truck travels at 60 you at 61 you will slowly crawl up until your rear tires (assuming you are rear wheel drive) touch the track then your speed is nolinger relative to the truck and ground but rather strictly to the trailer which has a velocity of 0 relative to your 61.so unless you can 60-0 in less than 53ft you're not going to have a happy ending lol. Engineering ruined all fun for me, things are just numbers and relativities
Have you seen mythbusters? they did this very easily and successfully, granted the ramp was all the way on the ground.
