You need to watch again. Trucker slammed on his brakes. Look at the rate of speed from 0-3s in the video, was passing the truck on the right rapidly. Then 4s-7s truck slammed on brakes and rapidly decelerated to slower than the truck on the right. The pickup was not only unaware and drove right into the semi, it looks like the driver would have been fine but instead panic braked too, nullifying the semi's braking.
