Like mentioned, it isn't just trucks. Yes they are bad because of the weight issue (most smart drivers like my dad put sandbags in the back to weigh it down better), but the problem concerns all drivers.
Sometimes I see people (mostly kids) just gunning the acceleration and not moving...duhhh. Then I see some people (mostly old women) who are barely on the throttle because (I can only assume) they think that if they go too much gas they will take off.
The answer is too "pulse" the accelerator. That's what I do anyway, heavy, off, medium, heavy, slowly, then when I feel the traction I resume. Driving a FWD Cobalt with All-Season tires really doesn't help at all though.
