Windshield replacement

[Ernie Ekberg]

I just had an email from my insurance agent and they said they would take care of it when I get back to Texas where it will be more convenient.

Yes, if you talk with the truck driver or the company, they will say it isn't their fault. Did you think they would willing pay you hundreds of dollars for something they can BS their way out of? If you get the name of the insurance company and file a claim with the insurance company, you will get paid. Yes, you can also file on your company, and sometimes at no cost to you in a rate increase. Some insurance companies have company policies that cancel you after so many claims, no matter what the claim. Why take a chance if you can get the other guy's insurance information. Just some helpful tips for the "next" time.

Yes, sometimes rocks fall of the gravel hauler and sometimes it comes up from the road, either way, here is what you do, if possible. Even if it isn't a gravel truck, do the same. > > If you run with a cb, then tell them on the radio about the incident. He may or may not answer. If they do answer (in a polite way) ask if he would pull over and offer his insurance info. Most likely the answer will be NO. DOT regs says he has to post certain info on the truck, they actually say it is located on the door, but truckers put this everywhere on the truck. Look for TXDOT (or USDOT if out of state) numbers and they will be on the truck. The name of the trucking company and city should be posted. Get any or all tag numbers. On big trucks (Semi Trailers) the truck (Tractor) tag is only on the front, but you should be able to get the trailer tag number. Get ALL this info and also make note of the date and time, and exactly where it happened, hwy#, mile post#, exit#, or the mileage to the next city. The hard part is going to be "getting" the info off the truck. If he is "hauling ass", you may not be able to get beside him. But safely try to get this info. > > You can go online (I don't have the link handy) and look up the TXDOT number and it will provide you the name, address, and their insurance company. The insurance company info is what you want. You call them and file a claim and most likely they will pay for your damage. If you have the date/time, where's, how's, and truck info, they won't argue with you much, just pay. > > I know this didn't replace your windshield, but maybe next time you can get the insurance to pay. > > Glenn > > --- In WanderlodgeForum@ yahoogroups. com, "mrkane1952" <mrkane@> wrote: > > > > Greetings: > > > > Lost the right windshield ('87 PT40) to a rock hauler in Waco.
