The question I have is what this is supposed to achieve, and does it apply to truck drivers who will drive for miles in any lane they choose.

Answer to first part of question: It achieves the goal of keeping slugs out of the left lane at 55 mph in a 70 zone, which in turn increases safety because everyone won't have a mad dash to get around them on the right.
Second part: It applies to all vehicles. And on most highways with 3 lanes trucks are totally barred from the left lane anyway.
