We too had a very similar experience with a Flamingo Trucking driver this morning! ABSOLUTELY RECKLESS, DANGEROUS, AGGRESSIVE ANGRY DRIVER! He was tailgating so badly that for much of the 5 miles that we had to contend with this, only the Volvo logo of the truck on the grill was visible in our rear window! Too close to even see the license plate! He weaved into the oncoming lane, as if to pass us, but didn't, then drifted to the right shoulder for some inexplicable reason. Meanwhile, ahead of us were 3 vehicles, including 2 large white pickup trucks hauling long open trailers (looked like someone was moving). It was obvious we could not go anywhere (especially from the vantage point of a semi driver). We kept a safe distance from the car ahead of us and he clearly did not like the fact that we (and the people in front of us) were driving the speed limit (55 mph). Five miles down the road with this maniac on our tail, the two trucks with trailers had to turn left at the same intersection where we were turning right. The two trucks ahead turned leaving an open lane. But as we slowed in our turn lane, the Flamingo driver slowed to match our speed, at which point we slowed even more expecting the truck to pass us and go on his way. But he did not. We actually slowed to a stop, and this absolutely crazy driver STOPPED in the middle of the road directly adjacent to us, blocking the traffic behind him! As we proceeded to complete our turn, the cars behind this DANGEROUS driver had to pass him on the right, using the right hand turn lane, because the truck was just stopped in the middle of the road! Little did he know that we had a dash cam and a tablet recording the whole thing, including getting his license plate number and the DOT/registration numbers on the side of the cab. We were not aware at the time that this was happening that we COULD have called 911 so we didn't call anyone until we got to work. We won't make that mistake again. Based on the description of the behavior, I strongly suspect we encountered the same driver as that encountered by the previous reviewer. We have notified Flamingo Trucking of this incident, as well as the dept of transportation and, fwiw, the area's and state police authorities.
