I sent him all of our photos and told him we were willing to sign sworn statements attesting to our info.

Glad you're ok but sorry you're having so many issues. <br />$4k for a couple posts? Nonsense.<br />$4k-ish for a quick winch-out and tow to the lot? More nonsense. <br /><br />It's crap like that which drives our economy in the ground. $400 worth of posts and a $500 tow job turned into an $8,000 incident. I'm interested in hearing about the estimates to your truck and camper. Another way that numbers are driven up to force Insurance companies to pay out the wazoo and jack up our rates. <br />Sad thing is, this type of thing will only get worse. <br /><br />And a citation for WHAT? What a crock of $%!%! I'm a police officer myself. I can't think of one good reason to give a citation in a situation like that. Also, I would have helped you recover any items thrown about, stood by until your rig was out and given you a ride where you needed to go. <br />Too bad that Trooper doesn't care about the public he's sworn to serve. Many Toopers around here are jerks too.

OMG! I am so glad you guys are "ok" (not gored, flipped or out of your vector). Wow, how scary! David, kudos to you for keeping the truck and rig in one piece (so to speak). I know you gave credit to the posts for keeping you guys upright, but you were the one driving. You said it best - it could have been a lot worse.<br /><br />Take care you two! Rushing over to Teri's blog to see what she has to say. May God put the RIGHT friends in the RIGHT place for all your needs.
