    I've tried and tried to find a report a driver link or email for Lineage Logistics. It just doesn't exist. I was driving at night in the rain and saw a driver not 15 feet behind a car consistently at 60. Every time I saw him it was the same. Eventually I just wanted to get evidence because that kind of crap gives us all a bad name so I will admit I got a little too close myself but got this picture. What do you think?

    I feel like that sort of thing also gives daycab drivers a bad name, amongst the trucker community.

    LOL... I always joke that amazon drivers never take a break, they just drive until they crash and then they get replaced with the next one.

    I tried calling in on a Variant driver but got nowhere.
    Pulled off of the shoulder without looking and almost took out me and the truck I was passing. Truck behind the truck next to me had to lock it down hard..scary times.

    That driver will eventually do it to the wrong person.

    Well, the first thing I would do is back off in case the unthinkable happens.

    Lineage Food out of Conklin, NY. I called the warehouse with the time and trailer number and they said they didn't have a trailer with that number.

    What do you mean you can't find anything on them??

    They have a large internet presence.

    They are located in Novi Michigan, this is a global company warehousing company which I do business with.

    If you want to look at them, here is their US dot number 3465763

    Here is their switchboard number - 800-678-7271

    Talk to someone there other than the operator.

    I have internal emails and phone numbers but I will not pass them along.
