This morning i had a retread nail the front of my truck. Estimate is 3000. Got the hood grill bumper and marked the **** out of the windshield.

Well i was going to post picks from my new fancy phone but i'm not smart enough. Plus not at home to just put on my computer.

added pics below

 

Dang, good thing you have insurance.

 

**** that, have the truck company pay for that BS..

 

 

Sucks that happened i try not to stay behind or beside rigs for long just cause ive seen retreads go and it isnt a good thing.

Hope you get sorted quickly.

 

i got smacked in the chest by a retread while on I-85 here in SC on my 2009 yamaha r6... long story short bikes gone and i spent SEVERAL weeks in the hospital... im trying to get something together to outlaw retreads. the trucking company didnt recieve ANY fauilt. all fault was put on me for APPARENTLY following to closely. i was ATLEAST 5 car lengths behind him...

 

The tire was already blown and laying in the left shoulder. Some idiot in front of me drove in the shoulder and kicked it up into my truck. They never stopped. Got the lp off their vehicle and called to file a police report. Now insurance has to battle it out.

I'll post some pics tonight. Ins adjuster took pics yesterday. Estimate is $3000.

 

That sucks, but at least you had the presence of mind to get the plate number of the ******* and file a report. Hope it works out!

 

i had a retread blow off a truck,go over my truck and landed on the tailgate...that damn thing went 20' in the air !!!!
if i woudda hit the brakes when i saw it could have come right thru the windshield and i was a good 5 car lengths behind the truck fixing to get in the other lane to pass it...
