    Hey I know I ma not a trucker yet, but today I saw a Freightshaker Columbia pulling 2 bottles and he took the corner at about 50 KM/H (31MPH). The rear tires on the back bottle came off the ground and he would have lost it had he been going 10MPH faster. I didn't see the name or the T/T numbers, is there a way I can report him?

    The only way is to identify the truck is to get the info off the cab. The MC and DOT # identifies the company but not the truck. You need the truck # which usually is on the hood area to single him out or a plate # which is on the front. They can work with the trailer # but it's a little harder. Sometimes they can work with location and time.
    You can go to the safestat website and identify any truck with the MC or DOT# and get a phone number. Then simply talk to their safety dept.

    But with zero info, you have no where to start. He probably is a new driver and probably changed his underware after that incident. Hopefully he learned.

    Thanks for the info, ya after the incident I was kinda mad I didn't get the info. I was busy trying to scout out where I was going to run if he did tip over, especially since he was full and next to a gas station.

    So you're going to attempt to take food off a family's table because a driver took a corner too fast? I'd get banned if I told you what I think of you... so I wont. Just remember karma is a ^&#*&!

    Glad you said it. There is two sides to the coin though. Getting bad truck drivers off the road make it better for the rest of us.

    Then again maybe the driver just simple made a mistake. We all do it.
