First let me be clear that trucks on the road don't bother me a bit, I used to be an owner operator but am retired now.
There are probably is a higher % of trucks on I-25 headed north and south of Denver, because I-70 west of Denver- Rifle,Co. is pretty rough driving in an 18 wheeler, but I would love to do it someday in my Mustang, it's better to go around some other way if possible for a truck.
South to I-40 or north to I-80.

We aren't far off from self-driving cars becoming the standard so this 'solves itself' as that is implemented.
While crazy for some to imagine this not too distant future, it will become illegal for individuals to drive their own cars. The data will be so compelling on safety of AI driven cars vs individuals driving that it is only a matter of time before you wont have the ability to drive the car yourself.
Also, car designs will evolve into more of a taxi model where the interior isn't fixated on needing a drivers seat.

The problem is the speed governor devices they have. One truck doing 70.2 mph trying to pass another truck doing 70 mph.

Not a good enough reason to clog up the left lane for 14 miles.

Yep,and should catch jail time for cruising the left lane
