Have to chime in here. In VA, if the object came from the truck, and hits the vehicle without contacting the road, the truck owner is responsible. If it was kicked up from the roadway by the tires, or contacts the roadway and bounces, your insurance is responsible. And, yes, there are lots of folks looking for a free windshield, too! Headed home from elevator, truck empty, and 20' grain body covered with tarp. Lady passes me, cut back in front, slams on brakes, and puts right turn signal on. I have to swerve around her to keep from rear-ending her. Not realizing she was trying to stop me, I keep going. She tries again, but this time motioning for me to pull over.

Told her truck was for grain, not gravel, body was fully covered, empty, and I have a certified Perdue Farms scale ticket in my pocket to prove so. She tells me she has my licence number and will call her insurance. I wished her luck and left her standing there looking stupid. Let my ins. agent know, we both had a good laugh and never heard another word about it.
