Although I'd certainly bow to the results of controlled scientific testing, in my practical riding experience (27 years or so...) I've never experienced this either - the speeds don't seem high enough or far apart enough to impress me as effecting even a small bike so severely

some thoughts/possibilities:

a wandering trailer - though you didn't specify that the truck was a semi, something I have witnessed.

an unsafe turn or lane change by either party
