It's not as if the truck in front just popped in his face out of nowhere.

I'm pretty confident he had NO IDEA I was there. He put on his blinker and IMMEDIATELY started to pull into my lane. I barely got past his bumper. I bet I scared the crap out of him. He also started the lane change much earlier than I expected, since he still had about 400' to the lowboy. I think he was trying to change lanes before other cars further back trapped him behind the lowboy, and while focusing on them he didn't see me.
