    That just means they have a bond with the insurance company.

    Not really... it means they just pay the insurance company to handle all the administration. The carrier is responsible for any claim outlays. The bond is required by the states to ensure funds if there's a big claim.

    They are self insured, so no go there.
    I emailed the CEO last night, for grins. I was amazed when Mr Simone replied today! He forwarded my email to their head counsel, and he also sent me an email!
    After a bit of back and forth with the dealer, they are at $2901 for the repairs. Now it's a down time discussion.
    Credit where it's due, I was VERY impressed with the head counsel and the CEO replying to my email personally.
    Will keep everyone posted.

    Well that's good to hear that they did at least respond from the top. As for the being self insured, your insurance company won't care however the possible hike in your rate for a claim might be enough to keep you from filing a claim.

    Hope all woks out for you. There's a new Star-Car parked here next to me in the yard with a 180" bunk on it and a shiny new Road-Train moose bumper on it, other than hideous graphics (way too busy/cluttered) it looks really good.

    There will be a herd defender going on here this year. I am paranoid now for some reason.....
    They offered me about a third of my daily earnings yesterday, so I emailed one if the head guys again asking why I should be out of pocket due to their truck hitting me.
    Fingers crossed.

    I don't get the feeling that you are asking for anything more than what you should get. I am not sure why USA won't just do the right thing and get it over with. #### you said it would come to under 5 grand right? That was repairs and lost wages? Is USA truck even sorry that their irresponsible trainer allowed this to happen? And it is all on the trainer for allowing alcohol use. USAs fault for allowing that guy to be a trainer. I don't understand it. If you were asking for an unreasonable amount then I would understand.

    Yes, under $5k total. Cheap for a drunk driver episode I would guess.
    I don't try to get what isn't mine, so lost wages and truck repairs is all I ask for.

    Because they know that it would cost Martin more then the remaining two thirds of his earrings to take them to court plus the earrings he would be out for going to court.
