Back is still sore (I've been dealing with a back injury since last year, hopefully I just aggravated it and didn't reinjure it), gonna try to get to the doctor later today.
Neck is a little sore too, but otherwise I'm fine.
Didn't realize those trucks weigh between 60,000- 80,000 lbs.
Guy said he was hauling 8,000 gallons, I was really lucky it wasn't much worse than it was.

Not sure the weight of a gallon of gas, but a gallon of water weighs 8 pounds.
8,000 x 8 = 64,000 pounds on load.
That's 32 tons.
Yeah, you're lucky.

Lol, the insurance company listed on the police report was a wrong number. Fortunately, I have the name and number of the truck company owner. Gonna let my insurance company talk to them, but if they decide to be difficult, I'll stop playing nice.
