Bill - I try to avoid staying behind all trucks which is not always easy, of 
course.  About 3-4 years ago, I was riding along at a safe distance, 
thankfully, behind a pickup with the tailgate up and no noticeable items in 
the bed.  A gust of wind or something suddenly blew an empty Clorox bottle 
right in front of me (hit my boot).  I'm sure the bike could handle that if 
it slipped under the wheel but it startled me quite a bit and could have 
caused a crash had I overreacted.
