A Will Count Freight tractor/trailer from Joliet, IL menaced my son and I on HWY 39 North in blinding rain from low speeds due to construction to 75 MPH!
The trucker put his front bumper about six inches from my back bumper turned on his brights and rode our butt at 60 to 70 MPH. At this point the visibility was about 50 ft and we were over driving the visibility. Soon the truck was weaving between lanes, trying to pass or get beside us.
This was scary, dangerous, unprofessional. For a Company that talks a good game about safety, I am not impressed.
But wait, it gets more amazing! The truck driver got a little ahead of us and dumped what appeared to be a trucker bomb which hit our car squarely. I believe that throwing bodily fluids at other people is assault.
This incident happened on route 39 North at 11:20 AM this morning and continued until about 11:34 AM. The Trucker had brown hair, big glasses and a 70's style mustache. His truck was number USDOT 297703.
This fool only backed off when he saw us taking pictures.
I was driving a 2011 Chevy Malibu which weighs in at about 3000 lbs. and the truck weighed in at up to 80,000 lbs. We feared for our lives in this very real case of truckers with emotions that are out of control and a very clear case of Menacing, Reckless driving and Assault!
