    The company says they wanna fix it without insurance involved.. Problem here is the closest BODY shop is 120 miles away and a 2-3week wait.. If i get the truck home(900 miles) the dealer will take my truck right away... I have a feeling that the company isn't going to pay...

    The body shop says this is a 3 Piece hood. And i thought the right side was the only one messed up. Turns out they messed up the middle too when i pop the hood its all CRACKED and PULLED away from the seam.. How stupid do you have to be to hit me with ur Tractor backing up...

    I would call that companies insurance and get that claim rolling. That balls in your court not theirs considering you were hit while he was backing

    Tell them to give you a comchek for $3000-$5000 now (or whatever you think it will cost to fix + downtime) or you're going to call the insurance.

    As long as it didn't get into the radiator or the intercooler you could call freightliner & price entire new hid assembly, hinges & all & new bumper & brackets, plus labor to paint & install. That should get you close to a number or just do what I would probably do & call their insurance.

    Yeah, I would call their insurance & tell them you're taking it home to go to the shop. No telling what all little stuff will be broke that you don't find.
