As a city rider and also farm country rider, I find trucks pulling trailers to be a big vehicle problem. Trailers are frequently wider than the pulling vehicle. Drivers give you plenty of room but forget to clear you enough with their trailer and also forget the trailer is closer to you then their vehicle. I know I seldom know the vehicle has a trailer until the trailer is beside me. Please make other riders aware of this issue and if you have the forum make the drivers aware.

Particularly the wide farm trailers loaded with tobacco. They're cutting tobacco right now so its particularly applicable. Not only are the trailers wider than the pickup or tractor they're pulled behind, but the tobacco load is often wider than the trailer.

...and there are often multiple trailers being towed behind the truck or tractor and they swing and sway very erratically!
