When a big truck passes an the left as it gets about even with me our rig is pushed to the right. It's usually just slight but sometimes it be a fairly hard push.
Even just a foot or two difference in the space between your unit and the truck can make a huge difference, here’s how to exploit that.
When the truck pulls out to pass you, ease over and crowd the left side of the lane, the passing driver will naturally do the same thing hugging the left side of their lane. Then once the other driver gets up next to you ease your unit over to the right side of your lane until it’s past you.
Doing this successfully will create a 6’ish foot gap between the 2 vehicles and almost if not completely eliminate the problem.
