    Exactly what information does it store? Would you happen to know how this information would help in an accident where fault is determined?

    The ECM generally records all info as to the operation of truck, concerning speed when the brakes were applied & for how long. It's essentially a monitor in the truck. It does help law enforcement when trying to assess responsibility for an accident.

    Just one more question--Do they have this technology on most trucks now?

    So glad they have this technology for the sake of the professional truck drivers!

    No. I haven't heard anything yet. I was told the Ins co would call me after, but I guess my written statement says it all.

    Well I'll tell ya Pilgim that $300 worth of damage is so slight it is ( would ) be impossible for even a crystial cup to be damaged. I would say go see my doctor. She would not t go. And rolling back is a error generally made by less seasoned drivers. Just sayin..
