Are you sure? What if he brake-checks you? Truckers do it all the time, to drivers who draft them. They hate it.

You've done the experiment, as have I. Now it's time to move on. Drafting trucks is dangerous, illegal, selfish, and stupid. It's not worth putting people's lives at risk, to get a couple more MPG.
