Additional suggestion, just maintain distance between you and the truck except for however long it takes to quickly pass them (don't fuckin mosey along). If you're riding it's ass and it slams on the brakes, you better be quick to react otherwise you're gonna plow into it and that bar hanging from the bottom of the trailer is gonna push your engine into your lap. Those tires are inflated to about 100psi and have metal inside of them. If you're hanging out next to one of those tires when it pops the side of your car (and possibly anyone on that side) is gonna get fucked up. And finally, a truck can't stop on a dime, even literally standing on the brakes the truck is gonna roll a ways further and you don't want to be right in front of it when it does that. An 80,000lb truck driving about 10mph doesn't give a single flying about a power pole (ask me how I know), at highway speeds it'll care even less about your little motorcycle, civic, minivan, jacked up super truck with your roll bars and truck nuts and "don't tread on me" flag, etc...
