1 second is just too close behind someone. ESPECIALLY if you are driving a pickup truck. Wake up, folks, you can not stop very fast, you can not steer very fast. 2 seconds is the minimum that I would drive my CAR behind anybody at those speeds. How about this strategy for the original poster. Drive 5mph below your desired driving speed and wait for a truck to catch you that is driving your speed and pull in behind. Try that for a while.
I find that trucks generally do maintain very even speed on flats, speed up on downhills and slow down on uphills. You just need to pick the right driver. Funny thing, i never follow the trucks with america plates because they all drive faster than the trucks with canadian plates.
