    Thats what I said. That is mi law though, dumb fool can go out in a $500 car tare up a $50000 commercial truck and its on the truck to pay for it. Like I said I guess I wouldve been screwd if all i had was liabilty. I hope the fellow that started this post has good luck getting his truk fixed. I have started avoiding mi for the bs laws they have.

    OT but, isn't this whole forum personal commentary?

    Yeah we have some screwed up stuff up here. It is called "No Fault Insurance". Your insurance covers your vehicle, theirs covers theirs, unless theirs is uninsured... they a portion of your coverage is intended to cover their passengers.

    For such a "Conservative" state MI is sure pretty ok about meddling with your stuff, for the benefit of someone else :)

    It's unlikely that a 22 truck operation was running without insurance. Sounds like the driver handed you an outdated insurance card.

    Do a DOT# search at the L & I website - Go to the upper right hand corner, (Choose Menu Option) and select "Carrier Search". This will give you the current insurance information.

    If you had ever had a personal Truck smashed by one of these "Hybrid" truckers you would definitely understand the commentary wouldn't be allowed in most any format.
    RAGE isn't sufficient !!

    Out of Troy Michigan. Dont know if the admin will allow name-calling and whatnot, so heres a big hint:

    The name of this particular trucking company is also the name of a popular Deep Purple song.



    I contacted my company's claim dept. They need TWO estimates and pictures. I am sending them the desposable camera with the pics of base plates and DOT numbers of the non-insurance carrying carrier.

    I wouldn't send them the camera. Send them copies of the pics...I have heard of things getting "lost" a lot by many companies. Even though you have a police report and some other info the pics are your silver bullet in case something goes bad with them owning up to the accident.
