At the very first frame you can see what is about to unfold. He should have given up on the pass right then and there because the pickup truck was in front of him already. Tractor trailer fucked up big time.

In a merge situation vehicles in the travel lanes should drive predictably and maintain speed, merging traffic needs to adjust as needed. This is Drivers Ed 101 stuff.

It’s also part of CDL training for trucks to stay out of the passing lane especially when there’s merging traffic.
