My wife saw this on Facebook and thought it was relevant to post.

Thanks for posting that Pat. As a truck driver I know you can't see as much as you want to. When around trucks make sure you stay out of those. When you need to pass them do it quickly.

I read some where that if you can't see the driver in his mirror he can't see you.  Is that true Rich?

Yes that is true. If you can't see the driver in his mirror he can't see you. Also his mirror also blocks his view as well.
