If one is polite and gives the facts without vitriol or threats, the person at the other end usually wants to make sure there's not a repeat performance. I've also sent emails when I couldn't find the proper phone number and those appear to have worked as well.
This next part is painful to say, because I'm politically a big-government fan. However, the only fleets that appear to be immune to these calls are public fleets (city, municipal power, school districts, county). Maybe I just don't speak their language, but they are highly resistant to improving their driving skillset.
I'm glad that you've had positive outcomes. Years ago, I'd called to report a local taxi cab for not allowing enough space between us when they passed me. The response that I got from the person that I was talking with was basically "No harm, no foul." Meaning that given that I wasn't hit/injured that as far as he was concerned that it was a non-issue.
