Also in many countries (such as in the EU) there's a law that forbids more than 2 people in the front of a truck. If you're hitching with 2 people you probably shouldn't spend much energy on trucks in these countries.
Officially most companies allow their trucks to drive for only 9 hours in a row (at least in the EU). After that they have to take a long break. Of course, in some countries these rules will be different and less obeyed than in others. If you're talking to a trucker who heads your direction you might think about asking him how much hours he has left. Spanish trucks, as of February 2011, cannot pick up hitchhikers any more and you'll be pressed hard to find an exception. Also trucks from the UK will very rarely pick you up for insurance issues. [[User:Zenit|Zenit]] found German trucks to be your most probable candidate for picking you up, but that could also be because his native language is German.
