The main reason a big rig runs those throw away dry filters is that when it is time for maintenace they do not take the time to wash and clean and dry then oil a filter.. they get turned around and put back on the road..

Holy Crap, yes. Can you imagine how many hours it would take to clean two dual filters the size what's used on a heavy truck if they were K&Ns?

It takes me way over an hour to clean my little flat pickup size K&N. The cleaner gets the trapped dust/dirt out quick enough, but the bugs, bug wings trapped in the pleats give me fits. I keep an extra in stock so I can stick it in and clean the dirty one when I feel like it.
