Is "platoon" the collective noun for trucks?

No, the idea is that collective nouns have to somewhat silly and nonsensical. Therefore, I propose to call it "a tooter of trucks."

It also means your car is blocked from taking the next exit by a wall of trucks.

Europe, the Netherlands where they began might be the best place on this planet to start up such a thing. Since the roads are the best in the world, you wont find better maintained ones easily elsewhere. Plus the weather is usually stable enough, no great amounts of snow either. So as a dutch citizen, I am glad that we are making progress here.
