Like everyone has said it all depends on the state or city. In Nevada there's no restriction or I'll say there wasn't when I was driving there. But really in the city where's there the three lanes there's no sense to be there unless the exit that turns off to the left which alot will do. As far as safety goes I stay in the middle lane. I'm in a truck and trailer that's over 85 feet and I believe the on coming traffic from the on ramps are the worse danger on any highway. I can see fairly well all around my truck with the added mirrors that my company has installed so really I have no blind spots. Plus if I choose I can turn on the close aparm system that will only come on when I turn either turn signal on.
Can truckers use the left lane ever when there are 3 lanes or more?

Heck I stay in the left lane as much as possible. That way there I can keep my safe distance, since most people think, you can go faster than the posted speed limit..

In the state of Missouri there is a law that state's stay out of the left lane. Kansas is on the books for became a law.

NO TRUCKS LEFT LANE, is only to discourage. In Texas along I-20 and I-30 through the Dallas city limits there is a left lane restriction on commercial vehicles. However you can pass all you want in the left lane AS long as you get back over as soon as possible. Like someone said above "heck yes when trucks are clogging up the middle lane" I'm not passing them on the right for the same reason they are riding the center lane, too much traffic entering the highway.

Don't run in the Left Lanes at all in CA, you will get a big fat ticket. Especially along I-80 near Applegate, CHP camps that stretch like moths to a light.
