I think VetteOwner summed it up perfect as they have a blindspot. They do still know you're back there, but also consider what they kick up onto your car. What if they have a blowout? Something that is a commonplace for a truck driver. I've got a CDL but maybe 10,000 mile at most of wheel time as it isn't what I do everyday and I've still had 2 blowouts - I'm fanatical about tire care on a 18 wheeler. The people that worked for me back when I drove more regular had MANY more blowouts simply because they didn't take the same precautions. One day you might be behind one of those people.
I did once have a trucker happy to allow me to draft. I was on my motorcycle in TX driving from Tyler to Abilene. I drafted a truck from Ft.Worth all the way into Abilene due to a serious head/cross wind (45+knots). He let me draft and was doing a cool 55mph anyway. When I took my exit he even waved with all five finger - no fist or single finger.
As far as them being jealous - Bullhockey!! I don't believe that one for a moment.
