Contact the local PD or Highway Patrol. If no luck with them, see if you can locate the plate# with the DMV.
In luck with Law Enforcement, reach out to the District Attorney or maybe even to the Chief of Police.

Do you remember if it was a county sheriff or city or state? Go to there local office and press charges. Remember you have to know the time ,description of the truck, highway you were on and the officer you spoke too. If you do not have his name, they will know who it is by means of shifts and patrol areas. Have them verify the incident with the officer you spoke with and go from there. If that does not work go to the county's prosecuting attorney and insist or charges being brought up against the driver. You have the right to press charges. You have the tag number so it should not be a problem finding the perp that was driving as long as you have the rest of the information I stated above. Also call the trucking agency if you have there info and file a complaint with them. Road rage is nothing to sneeze at, it can and has escalated into traffic fatalities in the past. Anyone that uses a vehicle to scare or intimidate someone should not be on the road.

I have a co-worker who was in a similar incident with an 18 wheeler who changed lanes without warning. In his case, he was run off of the road and hit a concrete embankment. He contacted the trucking company and provided the tag and trailer number. They told him that after talking to the driver that they didn't believe that it really happened. He then talked to the local police and filed a police report. The police officer told him that there was little they could unless the truck actually hit him.

Long story short - there is little that you can do, sorry.

Unfortunately, unless a cop actually saw something like the truck trying to hit you, there is not really anything they could do. It would be the truck driver's word against yours and nothing would come of it since no actual crime was committed. By your own admission, your boyfriend flipped off someone driving an over 10,000lb vehicle. I understand his annoyance, but he needs to keep cool for everyone's safety.

Also, are you saying that you were merging off of a bridge onto the highway? If so, it's your responsibility to yield to the oncoming traffic. Even if the truck could get over, they don't *have* to. Sorry if I misunderstood what you were saying.

'Then my boyfriend get on the side of him and out of rage, he well flips him off, '

This move put your life in further danger. People have been shot for less in road rage incidents. Report the driver to the trucking company, file a police report if you like, but don't neglect to get some anger management training for your boyfriend. He should have backed off and gotten some distance from this dangerous driver instead of provoking the situation.

If you have the company name, number of the truck that was driven and phone number, then I would call the police on the driver for road rage. I know in my state you can get in big trouble for road rage and threats.
