Being a trucker I can tell you what the "rules" are. If the object was picked up by a tire from the road then you can do nothing. If it was something that fell off the truck you have some recourse but since you did not stop the truck you are screwed. Anyone can write down a licence plate and say it came from that truck.

#1 always stay away from trucks. Don't drive close behind them, don't cut in front of them and slam the brakes on, don't drive beside them in multi-lane roads and when meeting them stay as far to the right as possible. Truck tires have large spaces in between the lugs, makes them great for picking up rocks etc..

#2 Get cash, go to speedy, standard or some other brand name glass company. I believe standard will come to you no matter where you are.

#3 My last windshield for my F-350 cost me $195 bux from standard.. Shop around a little first.
