Very seldom that semis run at their speed limit, now days the limits are 65 autos, 60 trucks most semis run between 65 and 70, autos 65 and 75.
Running 20 mph below the flow of traffic in the right lane, basically setup a rolling road block.

Rolling roadblock? That's what that passing lane is for. If people would drive like they should, i.e. move over to pass and then move back over to their original lane, it wouldn't be an issue, but instead you have people that pull into the right lane and just sit there, even when they could get back over. There's your rolling roadblock.

Makes a person wonder how they keep the autobahns in Germany from being endless car wrecks, when you have people driving 100+mph and other people doing 60-70 mph. Oh yeah, they know how to drive.

German drivers are more considerate than North American drivers. The also follow the rules better when driving the Autobahn to avoid the mass collisions.

Actually consideration has little to do with it. They know the laws and value their license because they cost a lot to get, both in time and money. None of this walk in the door, and if you can find the counter with minimal help, you get a license. They actually have to prove they both want and have earned a license. The licensing procedure is quite severe.
