- 1). Keep a pencil and notepad in a readily available area of your car. Many trucks are labeled with safety reporting bumper stickers that display a toll-free number to call and a vehicle identifier to provide. Having ready access to writing materials allows you to record that information and call when you are in a safe location to do so.
- 2). Write down any identifying information from a truck that is being operated unsafely. Record the fleet-specific phone number and vehicle identifier, if available, the license plate state and number, and any distinguishing marks or logos. Take note of the location, mile marker and time that the incident occurred.
- 3). Pull over at the closest safe location. Call the state patrol office to have an officer check on the driver. Contact the delivery fleet and inform the company of the behavior as well. The state patrol can determine whether the driver has broken any laws and possibly prevent an unsafe driver from causing a collision. Delivery fleets require private motorists to help identify and correct unsafe operators.
