I should've gone back and gotten the insurance information of the trucker but I never did. To replace the bumper and the foglight ended up costing me about $1k. The shop did a great job but I'm still ticked to this day that people have to go through stuff like that.
Good Luck!

The simple answer is to not allow retreads and require TPMS for truckers.
I don't know how many times I've been near or around a trucker that had a blown tire, and didn't seem to know/care...
