    The trainer will probably have to ride with a trainer for 2 weeks to refresh his training so he can return to training trainees...if you follow my train of thought.:biggrin_25523:

    No accident report means it for sure wasn't DOT reportable. FMCSA shouldn't hear a thing about it and if they do file a Data-Q on it immediately.

    So, I figured it might not go well for me if I smacked her.

    Well...

    One week, and, eleven thousand dollars later.

    I'm back on my way to California.

    WiFi at the days-inn was rather poor. And so was my cell phone connection.

    I'm momentarily thrilled that I don't own the Truck and the repair bill.

    Every time they thought they had it fixed. They took it for a test drive and found more problems.

    They replaced the bumper and grill. Replaced the radiator. Replaced the vorad system. Fixed a problem with the ABS. And aligned the front end.

    Drove 550mi, everything seems to be ok.

    I appreciate everyone's comments.

    Well glad to read you are rolling again. Be safe in your travels. Choose your parking spots carefully and setup barriers when parked for the night. lol

    friend of mine just had that same thing happen

    insurance was quick to pay for the damage to the truck

    didnt give him a dime in lost wages, not even the hotel fee (two weeks)

    That's what lawyers are for, if your friend mentions a lawyer the insurance company will likely start talking settlement and if they don't he/she should call one where you can be assured they will.
