I don't think I agree. There are ways to minimize blind spots by adjusting mirrors outward more than most typically do, but I don't think it can be fully eliminated. If I'm not mistaken, basic high school drivers ed teaches glancing over the shoulder.

I haven't taken any master courses, but I have been driving for 17 yrs. Curious what others think...

I do agree with you one can't completely eliminate blind spots a simple look to the side plus mirrors does the job.
I have been driving for 26 yrs and 12 yrs in a truck with no possibly for shoulder check and have learn to know my surroundings and have well adjusted mirrors.
Plus keep your distance from ppl in front and be ready for anything.

My bro-in-law is a truck driver for Swift.

I think we might be saying the same thing. Adjust mirrors out farther and give a look to the side. I wouldn't recommend looking way back, especially for any extended period of time.
