9. How? Just... How?

One, if that was me driving (the truck), I'd have felt the disturbance in the force. And I would have seen the vehicle wedged in-between in my mirror (sort of). But definitely felt it.

11. Must have been just under the sight of his right mirror

As to how he didn't know the car was there, I don't have a clue.

15. Was the trucker on something?

If he was paying attention or gave a fuck he would have at least noticed the feel of the truck driving differently. Like most good drivers does he not do occasional mirror checks?
