Stay away from trucks period.

I have driven trucks for many years and try to operate them as safely as possible for you and me, this includes keeping a safe distance from all vehicles in the event I have to react to a situation.

If you draft (tailgate) a truck, even though you're behind it, you can cause the driver to pay more attention to you than required, instead of whats in front of them and thats not good for anyone.

The rule to follow is

"If you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you"

Remember...

In order to get respect, you have to give respect.
