You don't have to be aggressive about it. On one EOC the other day I gained almost 10 mph over my usual speed and I wasn't all that close.

Treat the truck like you would any other vehicle, except don't pass it or let it get away. Just let it stay in front of you and you'll see a benefit. That benefit varies, but it's there (unless you're basjoos- he makes his own aero benefits).
