Help please. Ice from trailer cracked a car windshield.

It aint their bed theyre tossing rocks from that im worried about, its tgeir tires that throw missiles

 

In addition to everything said, MOST automobile insurance policies have free glass replacements part of their coverage. So, chances are, his insurance would pay for a new windshield anyway.
And, I do like the 'important fact' that they have to prove it was your truck that did it. About the only way for that to happen is 'IF' they have a dashcam and it just happens to catch it all just right. Even with a dashcam, chances are they wouldn't be able to spot it coming from your truck.
I have a dashcam and regularly look at its footage. To include, having a couple of rocks hit and damage my windshield. Try as I might, I was completely unable to see anything. Only way, from the dashcam, that I knew something happened was you could hear the pop of the rock hitting the windshield.

 

Keep your money in your pocket!

Windshields fall under comprehensive coverage [fire theft and collision] from the motorist's insurance; usually without any deductable.

Unless you are in a state like New Jersey where it is illegal to run with snow on the trailer and the cops will ticket you; you are off the hook driving record wise.

It can't get onto your MVR unless a cop writes you into an accident report or a citation.

Chill out and save the stomach lining for a real accident, unless you want ulcers.

 

I had a guy in a Cadillac glued to my bumper about 36 years ago on a 2 lane. He gets on the cb and tells me I cracked his windshield. Didn’t seem to be upset or looking to place blame, just letting me know.

I said that is too bad and we had a nice conversation until I got off at the corporation I drove for.

Times have changed.

 

This actually happened to me many years ago.

It was a bus behind me like a Transit bus or something and he came right up to me and whatever and I pulled over and you could see his windshield was broken I gave him all of the company information and all that and I never heard anything about it.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

 

LMAO I feel the same way you do about them. the one i like is they pull out in front of you from a side road with a stop sign but only slow down to 30 on a two lane when you when you have no one behind you and make you smoke your brakes, only to make a left turn a mile up the road.

 

Well now we all know who your ex-wife ran off with.....

 

They can have her.

 

As a company driver all you do is take photos of the damage, photos of your truck and trailer, you give them contact info for your safety department, and don’t answer any unnecessary questions. NEVER apologize or claim any fault. You let your safety department handle all that. If an officer gets involved and they want to file an accident report you can explain the events that transpired but never admit to any fault and keep any opinions to a minimum. The less you give out the easier it is for your company to fight a claim. Keep talking to a minimum with the other person cause they can put words in your mouth.

 

This applies to any incident or accident.

Never say 'I'm sorry' -or- 'It was my fault". summon Police/ambulance if needed and gather your papers and wait.

[added] TAKE A LOT OF PICTURES - No blood, guts or gore but skid marks, get back and get the other persons view. Most guys send pictures, 3 or 4 of the same stuff and not much else....{finished adding}

Speak only to the officer with your information and call your office.

Loose lips sink ships [trucking companies] in the courtroom.
