The point of mine was live and let live, reporting someone who is just trying to finish their day is messed up, reporting someone directly endangering others i wouldn't do but i don't have a problem with. I rather try to intercede as i have in the past with success.
We're not as far off as you may think. I probably erred in my first comment by not including my attempts to get the drivers attention, I figured they would be assumed.
As far as the driver just trying to finish his day, that may be when he is most vulnerable, and those around him in harm's way, assuming the driver works similar hours to me; at that point, the roads are starting to fill up again with early morning commuters. And also, to be clear, I have not been talking about a little lane-wobble, everyone does that once in a while. I've been talking about the unmistakable weaving from lane to lane, or drifting onto the shoulder and suddenly jerking the wheel back as the tires just make contact with the soft shoulder.
I'll be checking in later, time to get ready for work myself right now...
Stay safe, everyone.
Do you report bad drivers?

You guys calling in on speed, what companies are you working for that issue radar guns with your truck? I wasn't aware of that being part of a truck drivers job

It's a pretty basic division of principles. one side, my side, the right side, " don't throw another rig under the train" the other side, the wrong side, "if they aren't safe enough by my standards turn them in."
I say no, they say yeah, someone sings the purple dinosaur song, then someone else shoots that person.
The basic fundamental problem my side has is, "who made your standards of safe the marker to say it was okay to potentially screw over someone else." -
My truck had a blue button on camera to activate camera. I would film knuckleheads screwing up about every day. Tape might be used if the drivers hits me. One day a driver was all over the road, I didn't dare pass him, filmed him for miles. I'm a safety freak , don't take anything for granted.
