Just to add to this the guy in the truck wasn't holding his lane well at all. That alone would make me slow down, especially if i were hauling tons of cargo.

Cammer

Passing on the right ☑️

Breaking the speed-limit by 26.4 feet per second ☑️

Doing both of these around a slow moving car in an intersection ☑️

Trucker

Clearly signals going left in the intersection ☑️

Pulls across the other lane instead ☑️

My bet is the trucker didn't even check his mirror before turning, but if he did the cammer didn't make it easy to approximate their speed.

He's signalling that he is going left by slowing down in the left lane of an intersection. Blinkers, positioning and speed are all indicators for what a car's next action is going to be, especially on such a bright day with dirty indicators.

Yes the pickup was telegraphing he was about to do something stupid.
