Signaling truckers it's ok to change lanes

If you don't want to be passed by trucks, change lanes when they get close in your rear view mirror and save them the trouble of having to go around you in the first place.
More important,.....how in the heck do you signal them NOT to pull into your lane!
I've never understood why ALL of them that pass me insist on quickly getting back into my lane. They impart so much buffeting to my vehicle,....YES, they do it THAT quick! I won't put up with it anymore. I quickly change over to the lane they vacate. The fact that I'm able to do it proofs that there was NO vehicle behind them that was causing them to change lanes prematurely.
