Minor Accident w/ 18-wheeler

If it was a large trucking company, they may be self-insured, so contacting their safety department and working out payment for the damages you caused might work.
If they are a smaller company, they will have their insurance company contact yours to get the damages resolved. A call to them today might give you a chance to head off them calling your insurance carrier. Be prepared to fork over the requested cash, as truck parts are expensive.

 

Did you report the incident to your own company? Many companies have a policy that if you don't report within 24 hours that's grounds for immediate termination.

 

If he doesn't, then he should not do a thing, let his insurance company handle all of it.

 

Probably doesn't want his rates to go up

 

I was beginning to wonder. Myself.

 

All of my wrecks that I cannot fix with a 20 dollar bill or a meal etc are called in within a hour. The flak I get back ranges from a docking in pay all the way to lawsuiting by the victims which happened twice. One was settled for a new car and the other was laughed out of court because the victim was actually in breach of his company policy among other things.
