You could zig zag all over the road - NOT recommended
You could buy the rip over windshield covers - like they have in Formula 1 racing - VERY expensive
Clean windshield at every fuel stop - MOST recommended
I think bugs have a Kamikaze gene

I learned from Guido to put a couple drops of Dawn dish soap in the washer fluid. Works wonders!
Carry a spray bottle filled with window cleaner, other bug removal mixture or even plain water. When you are stopped, reach out the window and saturate the dead bugs on the windshield with the spray. Let them soak for a minute or two. Use your windshield wipers to finish the job.
This is not as good as physically getting out of the truck and washing the windshield but it is a nice short term fix.

I find that Rain-X or equivalent makes cleanup easier.

The few drops of Dawn in the washer fluid bottle does work great...

I have installed Bug-Shields on different trucks in the past and
had good results.
It is well worth the money in my opinion.
I also agree in allowing cleaner to soak in for a minute;
During the warmer weather at a fuel island I will apply the
cleaner and let it soak while fueling, then re-soak and swipe
clean with the squeegee after fueling.
Most detailing shops will use window cleaner from an aerosol
can rather than the liquid type in a spray bottle.
The Castle brand is a good aerosol window cleaner and can
usually be found wherever automotive paint is sold.
