    But they don't administer from the front office. It's a totally separate set up.

    I can kind of see why lawyers are going after trucking companies and they're insurers because most don't want to pay for what they destroy .

    I was hit and run by a Swift truck, yes really, and he caused 20K in damage and I was down for a month.

    It took months to resolve but I was paid, eventually.

    It was horribly stressful.

    I wish you luck.

    Years ago a former co worker who was a owner op was in Toronto he slightly scraped a swift trailer in the dark.. he called swift explained the situation and told them to send him a bill. They sent him a 1500$ cheque he called them back and told them their mistake they sent him another 1500$ cheque.after six months total back and forth he got mad and cashed them.

    Call 1-800-Downtime. They will help you get the lost income & rental. Sometimes,you need a lawyer to make them pay attention to your claim.

    You call also call the insurance commissioner in their state (cfi home office) and report them for NOT paying.
    They really don't like that

    Another companies truck hit my truck while it was parked, and damaged the hood. The other company paid for a new hood and the labor to install it, but balked at paying for loss earnings due to downtime. I got a lawyer and was compensated.
