Still he has a good point about not being able to open the window to reach out to hand papers / etc...
I don't know how it works with "normal" trucks, but won't this mean having to get out of the vehicle to pay tolls, hand license to police, etc?

Some (most?) exits don't even have manual tolls at all, you have to go to the website and pay within 7 days if you go through one without the transponder.
Getting pulled over by an officer should (hopefully) be infrequent enough where getting out of the vehicle is not a big deal. Although, I know police officers get very nervous if you motion to get out of your vehicle (understandably) so some communication is in order.
I guess it depends a lot on where your route goes. If it's a harbor, airport or any sort of restricted area, you'll be 'pulled over' every time you enter or leave.
Weigh stations are simple, you just idle slowly over the scale plate(s) and there is an illuminated sign board ahead telling you to go, stop, or pull around for inspection. New Mexico is the only state I encountered where you actually rolled up to a trooper in a window up at your eye level and had to interact with them, but this was just to hold up a copy of your permit and they waved you through. You didn't have to speak.
