Step fairing blew off my truck

I was less than 10 miles from stopping last night when I heard it fall off. I guess the bushings wore out. I took note of the mile marker, took the next exit and turned around, went up the other side of the interstate and back to retrieve it.

It was pitch black out and I couldn't see it. Walked up and down the road looking for it to no avail. I believe it was probably blown to pieces being run over by another truck. I filed a damage claim to the company already but the only DOT information I can find about missing steps refers to cabovers.

 

Nothing loose. Just an inconvenient climb up and down. Currently being passed around different departments trying to get it figured out.

 

Getting some strange looks and definitely am not helping the volvo stereotype any.

 

Well now I'm sitting at the terminal to get it replaced.

Body shop isn't open until Monday. The claims department keeps saying I'm fine to roll but the mechanics keep saying it's a violation and to sit tight until the fairing comes in.

 

Would you mind giving me the FMCSR for that? The only information I can find seems to specify cabovers.
