Several years ago while driving on I-40 through TN I had an 18 wheeler cut me off then he slowed down so I passed him, again he passed me cutting me off again. This happened 3 times. I just kept driving and soon came to a TN state trooper who had someone else pulled over, I pulled over, the trucker saw what I was doing and pulled over about 1/4 mile down the road. I waited until the trooper was finished with his business with the car he had stopped then told him what had happened and the truck driver tried to say I'd also cut him off, but I'd always been able to see his whole front end in my rear view mirror before returning to his lane. After we had our chat the state trooper told me to go ahead and leave and said he was going to have the trucker stay for awhile allowing me to get several miles ahead and told the truck driver he'd better not get near me again. This was a J.B. Hunt truck so I got the truck number/tag number and the next day after getting back home from my trip I called the company's safety department and told them about the incident. They assured me the driver would be dealt with and thanked me for the information. Just because the truck driver wanted to act like an idiot he lost probably at least 30-45 minutes of driving time and probably got reamed out by the company safety department if he didn't lose his job over it.
