The solution is called "Defensive Driving".. If you see any OTR driver texting while he/she is driving, a report to DOT with the company name and a truck number, time of day, location, ect. will cost the driver his CDL and job.

The least action may be a session with the company safety officer, whether your report is true or not. Major OTR companies are very strict about these things. Bear in mind, that other drivers can do whatever they want, drinking, distracted, speeding, with no consequence.
And yes, I am a deaf, blind senile old fart driving a Class A with a toad. And a DW that helps me to drive.
How can you write down all the information to report the distracted otr driver without being distracted yourself?
And how can you see what a driver is doing when he passes you? My line of sight is restricted. I can see when I pass them fairly well, but I don't have clue when they pass me.
