From my understanding when you are checking SWR you should be 50ft away from

building can have on SWR? If my SWR if around 2 (that'll do me) and I find
myself in a town near a building or in a jam with a big 18 wheeler alongside
could I find that my SWR could go from 2 to a damaging level due to the
closeness?


There is an effect like you mention... but nowhere near that severe.
Try and stay in the clear when making adjustments... but don't think
that parking next to another truck will change your match drastically.
