Dangerous Driver in Construction Zone

The following occurred on southbound Illinois Route 59 in Plainfield Illinois;

The truck clearly had Thornton's written on the vehicle, and was a bright yellow. The driver was swerving between two lanes of traffic in a construction zone, not using any signals, almost hitting multiple cars, and getting multiple car horns sounded at him. At one point it seemed as if he was done, and another car pulled along the left of him, and the driver immediately swerved back to the left lane with no signal or warning while the car was right next to the semi. Prior to this there was no observed interaction between this car and truck for at least the previous 10 minutes we were behind the truck. This ran the car off the road and up onto a curve. We saw this happen from a few cars back in traffic and watched in horror that a GAS TRUCK would be driving like this.

Later on we were able to get close enough to this same truck, at the intersection of Illinois Route 30 and Interstate 55 where the driver entered the onramp, to see the number '428' on the drivers cab. I'm not sure if this is identifiable enough to discipline this driver, as it was the only identification we could see, due to the the rainy weather.

I would appreciate feedback regarding this and hope that it can be dealt with internally.
