And yet you can get a ticket in some states for not giving them enough room when you pass. Hell, in MS they had troopers riding with truckers to catch "distracted drivers" and people who didn't give the truck enough room. The troopers then radio to their trooper buddy up the road with a description the vehicle and the "violation".
Well to be honest, it's a VERY bad idea to get right in front of a big truck. The reason for this is that while if something happens you in your car can slam on your brakes and stop "on a dime" so to speak, it takes a big truck a much longer idstance to stop. To give you an idea, even at only 55 MPH it takes a big truck like 200 yards to come to a full stop. Generally it takes them 40% longer to stop than a car.
