On my list is one of those huge steel bumpers I usually see on the Dodge diesels here around Pueblo...

even if it's close, a repair on that will take forever. Push for a new truck, print them some ads from local dealers of similar make/model/equipment to show to your/his insurance, and push them to cut their losses, hurry up and buy you a new truck.

at least you are okay. trucks and motorcycles and stupid people are dime a dozen. you can always find more of those.

[Elhuero]

sounds crappy but all in all I think you dodged a bullet. best of luck to you

first wreck I ever got in the guy was complaining about his leg, but he saw I was just a high school kid and had nothing so he didn't push it.

if I had that same accident today he'd probably sue the heck out of me.

Good thing the trucks were stuck together and nothing was moved before the police got there. Their report should show that he was in your lane. His insurance should pay for you to get a truck, instead of just a Chevy Aveo or something. You are both very lucky to not have been hurt. Did the other driver stop at all? It probably won't matter much if the police report clearly shows other driver was in your lane.
Lastly, if you have his insurance information, don't wait for him, just call his company and turn in a claim yourself.

i will be calling his insurance company first thing monday am. it will be close as to whether my truck is totaled. lots of money in parts in the front end and then body work. i am hoping i can get a rental truck, but unlikely that i can find one with a gooseneck hitch and airbags. i need to haul my 13,000 pound skidsteer from junction to home as soon as it has got a new injection pump. if i cant haul it i have to pay someone $400 to haul it for me.
i took plenty of pictures of the trucks immediately after it happened, and there was another vehicle nearby, she saw the whole thing. she gave me her number and volunteered as a witness. he was clearly in the wrong, his rear tires were about 3 feet from the ditch on the wrong side of the road, my skid marks show that i was as far to the right side of my lane as i could be. when the tow trucks got there i went to go talk to them, the cops were just getting done with the other driver and it was obvious that they were not happy with him. he was trying to argue about getting a ticket and me NOT getting one. he told everyone around that i was going really fast, except the witness said b.s. and the cops measured the skid marks. i am sure if they thought i was speeding they would have written me a ticket.
although he is in the wrong, it will still cost me a bunch of time, hassle and money. my neighbor got hit by a guy just a few hundred yards from there, totaled her old dodge truck. they gave her "book value" on the truck, $2500. which was a joke, she couldnt find anything near what she had for that, and in that case the other guy was also at fault.
