What can you do, **** happens right? 3 weeks after I bought mine a chunk of concrete the size of a shoebox fell out of a tandem trailer and put a nice dent in my rear driver's side door. Some people freak out and always see their trucks as damaged afterwards even if it was repaired perfectly. But the body shop did a good job and it looks like new so I'm happy.
Hope you got a cheap deductible!

Hey Johnny, first off, I totally feel for you man. That just SUCKS !
It's easy for somebody else to laugh, and talk crap..... but they would feel totally different it it happened to "their truck" !
About those damn cell phones..... I'm totally guilty myself. I break the law with that one daily. My excuse is, I do it for my work.... and my old POS cell phone won't work with Blue Tooth....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But hey, here's a cell phone story for you guys....
A freind of a friend, who works in Sacramento, for a concrete company, was sitting stopped at a light last week, with a full load in his concrete truck (80,000 lbs) When a guy in a small sports car hit him at an estimated speed of 60 mph.
Put it this way, the guy in the concrete truck had to go to the hospital for some lumps, and scrapes. So I hate to even tell you about the guy in the sports car..... So far as I know, he's still alive, but his arm was laying in the intersection, all kinds of broken bones, internal injuries, head injuries, etc
Toxicology reports showed no drugs or "alcohol" (for a change).
However, he was talking to a friend on his cell phone when the accident occured.
