close my eyes and floor it!
really, I need more info, was the truck crossing the center line just a little bit, if so then just move to the right some and maybe risk losing a mirror. If the truck is all the way in my lane then take the shoulder, and hope that the guy on shoulder sees whats happening. If hes driving across the road (intersection) then lay the vette down and slide under..... wait, vettes dont do that... I would try to look for ways around, if not then hit a tire, its the safest way to hit a tractor trailer.
