75 mph

So, riddle me this.... Ten trucks in a line. All are governed at 65 mph on a 75 mph stretch of highway, for example......let's say I-80 in South Western Nebraska. The truck in front is doing 64.5 (on a 75 mph highway). All are in a line until (you guessed it) a non truck, let's say a pick-up goes to pass them. What happens next?
For those of you not blessed to live here (or even in this country ie DD or Dale), the obvious answer is to jerk your semi/trailer into the left lane like it was a sports car and leave it up to the non trucker NOT to hit you! I'm not kidding either, these guys wait till your front clip is parallel to the back of their trailer, then without warning, jerk their tractor/trailer over into your lane like they were driving a Miata. It's scary out here in paradise. You'd think that truck drivers would be the best, most professional drivers on the road, but from what I've seen, they're the most dangerous drivers out there! Best case scenario, you don't crash into the back of this butt-head's trailer. Other than that, you can only hope that none of the other truckers in the line try to cause a wreck by cutting you off with the knowledge that if you hit them from behind, It's on YOU! Either way, they make a rolling roadblock tor 50+mi doing 64.75mph, and laughing like heck as they do it. Bunch of smelly Blue Falcons!
