The guy behind Trucker Dashcam // Sweden is one of the nicest truckers I've ever heard of. He mainly does dashcam compilations nowadays, and includes videos from friends and subscibers as well.

I don't brake check people, but I do flash my brake lights a few times if someone is tailgating me. That generally makes people realise "oops, sorry, I was too close". If they ignore that I slowly turn the cruise control down until they'd rather switch lanes and zip off. Funny how I'm only tailgated when there is plenty of space in the passing lane to the left of me.
The brake checks that the assholes do are when they actually brake to have near-collision vicinity to trigger collision warnings/autobrakes on trucks and busses, or to really rile another car driver up/collect insurance. But they forget that many people nowadays have dashcams (thank you Russian insurance companies!).
I do that as well, though people usually don't realize what I'm trying to convey to them. Then I just start driving the speed limit exactly, and if that doesn't help, I go down by around 10kmh and maybe more if necessary
