Actually, it would surprise me if this call didn't do some good. It today's litigous US of A, Companies can't afford to ignore reports of dangerous drivers in their vehicles. If you are serious about it. Send a letter by some means with a proof of reciept - priority mail is probably the cheapest. That puts them on notice that they can not deny knowledge of this driver's reckless behavoir because someone has a record of them hearing about it. Stuff like that is damning in a lawsuit.
