This just isn't realistically possible on most highways except in the lightest traffic conditions. You are gonna spend some time beside trucks whether you like it or not.

Spending time right next to a truck is completely optional. You can either speed up or slow down, either of them will put you in a position where you are no longer right next to them.

What if there is a more or less uninterrupted row of trucks in the right lane?

We can play “what if” all day, but I’m not interested. In 99,9% of cases you can and should avoid driving next to a large vehicle.
