From this and your past posts, it's clear that you don't have confidence in your ability to control your car. I strongly suggest joining the pacific nw region pca and taking a driver's skills lesson for a day in Bremerton. This is not a track day, it's a lession on the cars handling to understand how it behaves in different situations. You need to know your car's handling charactoristics to be able to stay safe in unexpected situations. Unfortunately, they're booked up for April.

If your intent was to race the truck, I agree with the above post. However, sometimes it's useful to move around a slow moving vehicle before the road becomes a single lane, in which case I don't see a problem. I don't like following behind SUVs and trucks. No matter how far back you are, you can't see traffic in front of them limiting your ability to anticipate situations. They're also a hazard when trying to see around them to make a turn.
