It is possible to do things that help the trucker from behind such as the functions of what a wide load chase vehicle does. Ie help them get back into the lane at the top of a hill when the right lane ends. Many of these guys are from out of town and may not know the road as well as the commuter who knows the lane they are in is about to run out. Put your signal on early to wake up the other speeding zombies and take the correct opportunity to go out and hold the lane open for the truck. Signal with a flash to let them know you are one of the good guys. Forge the pact with trust and mutual benefit. Choose your blocker from someone that has just passed you as you are pulling up the on ramp. Rather than someone you chased down if you can so they know who and what you are and had a good look at you before going by. Dip out, well into their mirrors on every curve so they can see that your are at a safe distance. Ect.
