Yes, stay far behind the barely-braking heavy loads and get far in front of the loose unsecured loads.

I was driving a highway in Colorado and I saw a flatbed with a bunch of large haybales, cubes of about 6' each. The top one was unsecured, so I raced out in front of that truck. A few minutes later I saw it fly off the top of the truck behind me. The highway was eerily empty behind me for a while after that. Scary stuff!
