Had you been in a 20 second car, you would probably just have stayed behind the big rig. Since you were already at the tractor when he started to drift, he knew you were there and coming. He probably had judged your speed, the speed of the truck in front and was starting to pull left a bit so he would not have to swerve. But anyway, even if you had not been able to pull it, I don't see why the big rig would not have braked or pulled left earlier before you could pass him. It's not as if the truck in front just popped in his face out of nowhere.
