Should I Report This or Let it Lie

I'd at least called the safety dept. and let them know that they may want to check on the driver and make certain they can comprehend English. No excuse when large signs are in place to do something that dumb no matter what their experience level is. They then proceeded to back up an on-ramp? That is one of the most basic rules/law out there, you never back up on a major highway because you made a boo boo and missed your exit or turn. Sorry but minding your own business doesn't apply here, we need to get these foolish drivers off the road.

I'd say let it go. If nobody saw it and nobody was remotely involved, then just chalk it up to another stupid thing you've seen a driver do (which '09 has been a record for my eyes). If it was a "near miss" or property damage occurred, I'd think about reporting it to their safety department.

Actually outlaw, no I haven't missed an exit. I pay attention to what is going on instead of simply holding the steering wheel. I have also yet to make a mistake that could have been deadly so don't even put me in that category. Being who we are, professionals, we shouldn't be pulling these stupid stunts and when we do, we deserve to be called in on them. Accountability, start actually holding drivers accountable for their actions, by calling their safety dept the company can start a log or add to a previous log of the driver. Who's to say the driver hasn't pulled the same stunt before and it was a near miss? Me, I'd have called the police and the company and guess what, I have no problem if I ever do something that asinine if the favor is returned. Actually, I have had 2 calls on me, both were BS which the office told them to F-off because I had a pilot truck behind me who saw what happened.

Depends, did he move a construction barrier first?
 Honestly though? This thread has already recieved too much attention IMO. The guy made a wrong turn, big deal. He corrected it without damage or injury.

Report it to whom? His company? If he drove for my company I don't think I would because it wasn't like he was trying to do it. He made a mistake and corrected it the best he could. I've reported one driver in my life and that was a JB Hunt driver that did a U Turn on the interstate using the cross-over while talking on the cell-phone. He did that on purpose.

If you do not believe in KARMA then by all means report it, however what comes around goes around... There is not one person on this board that can honestly say at one point or another they found themelves having to do something stupid in their truck for lack of reason or simply not paying attention, sh.t happens..

you people amaze me!! you cant control it, mind your own business, perhaps he will kill someone next time.. with your logic, if I see a drunk driver, I should mind my own business, I have no control over him.
if the driver is stupid enough to go in the exit and then instead of turning around and coming out the right way, he backs up a one way ramp. he is a complete moron and a danger to everyone and needs at the very least some more training I would report him AND send the company video so they could see what they need to do.
