I've seen multiple semi's do this and it gives me pure joy to watch it.
It is indeed a joy to watch. It's even more fun to get on the radio and help them set it up.

I was about 1/2 mile from my exit in stopped interstate traffic with a truck in front of me playing the lane blocking game. He'd move back and forth as people tried to get past him. I watched his eyes in his mirror and when he turned from watching for a second I blew around him in the emergency lane. He was flipping me off with both hands as I passed him.
This maneuver really helps traffic move along because the traffic in the main lane doesn't have to stop to let the line-crashers in.
Unfortunately, the Highway Patrol can give the trucker a ticket for doing it..
