    Well cruising East on I 64 thru ST Louis a JB driver cut 4 trucks off then as we turned onto 64 e off 64 55 70 group he puts a car in median. At this point everyone had told him to straighten up (but used other words) He told us where to go So three other trucks blocked him in and guided him right to the scales.

    now that is polite compared to what I would have done.....

    normally (and I will be honest here) if I see a trucker driving recklessly, I will simply call the local authorities.... give them the description, location, and heading... and laugh when they pull him over....

    I'm going to have to call bull hockey on the original story. There's NO WAY a JB Hunt driver had his radio on :p

    I've seen a few cases of truckers making other trucker take responsibility for their actions. It's a good thing that needs to be done, too. If you're going to drive a truck, you need to follow big boys rules.

    If YOU saw him "put a car in the median" then you're a witness--make a phone call. ###### if I'd use my truck to block someone. Body work is expensive and time consuming. Ditto legal hassles. And if you're driving someone else's truck and it's damaged because you played vigilante, you could lose your job.

    Surely that isn't the end of the story.
    What happened at the scales?
    The suspense is killin' me here.

    Book him, Dan-O!

    I wouldn't have blocked him either, I would be on the phone to the police, and then to JB Hunt.
