So much for my shiny new Ram...

[VA-RAM]

Your insurance company should take care of you immediately and then go after the others. That’s what USAA does. Love those people. Good luck!

Yep, even though my wife has been with State Farm a long time, we have USAA for all of our vehicles...and there is no question up front...they take care of you first.

Glad everyone made it without getting hurt!!!

Wasn't Ram rated the highest safety out of all the trucks? I know I always feel safe in my big ol Ram!

I believe that is the F150

So glad you are ok!!! It sucks stuff like this happens and we all love our trucks, but they can always be replaced if needed.

Heading home from a meeting today going North out of Dallas on I-75 in slow moving traffic, when an SUV bounces off the cement center barrier at a high rate of speed and is tossed into my truck. 5-car smash-up and everyone walked away. I am very surprised too, because after he hit me it sent him into a 360 degree rollover with 3-people inside. Anyway, no serious injuries, so have I have that to be thankful for. A few more feet back and he would have smashed right into the drivers door - probably a different outcome!

I'm so sorry. At least you're doing well.

Glad you walked away. RAMs (19 Classic) had a 4 star front end rating and a 5 star side impact. A guy ran a red light and turned it on an angle and hit me dead between the A and B pillars. I was carried away BUT the RAM went to the junkyard . The main thing they did their job and we lived to see another day.

Glad you’re ok. Things can be replaced but people cannot. I’m in McKinney and I-75 is second only to 635...

You tell your insurance not to wait on the other guy....They need to move on fixing your RAM NOW! At the same time, they can go after the other company (companies) for subrogation. Take this from a guy whose wife has been an agent for over 30 years for State Farm...do not let your company play the waiting game. They're just trying to defer the cost to them by blaming the other company "wont do for you what they should"... BS!!!
You demand that they start the repair process NOW and the fallout of whose fault it is can be settled between all the players insurance companies and lawyers as the process plays out......let them fight that legal battle...make them fix the truck now.....

Wow! That is good information to have. They (SF) are telling me that if I go ahead and file the claim, that it will go against me even though I am not at fault. Damn, they make this stuff hard to navigate. But thank you very much for that insight!!

Thanks, neighbor. I just moved from Frisco to Celina.

Yea, if I were a vet, I would be with USAA as well, but I'm not. BTW, I am from Bloomington, IL and several of my family members are SF employees.

Also, Thanks for your service to our great nation!

BTW, are you really a Ram football fan? I have been an avid fan since Roman Gabriel was their QB. Yea, I know... now you know I'm old! Hahaha...

Believe it or not, it sounded like you're lucky day!

You had a bad day.....but not THIS bad.

 

[DeckArtist]

I drive in and out of Dallas every single day and I’m here to tell you that more often than not it can be a white knuckle ride. The one thing you don’t expect is what happens in slow traffic like what happened to your truck. Very sorry to see it but glad you are not hurt.

I really hate driving in large cities now but since I’m not independently wealthy, the commute continues.

 

[njjeff201]

Glad you r ok. Tell the body shop don’t use Chinese after market parts... original only. You may have a fight on your hands. Also, you want NEW parts, not from the junk yard... another trick the body shops use

too many texters. it seems impossible to get them to quit. I notice them the most when riding my motorcycle. they dont go when the light turns green because they have to finish that all important text . they wander across the lanes and poke along below the speed limit till they are thru with their message. I personally have seen two go clean thru a red light without looking up. not to be a ****** or anything but I wish there was some kind of lock-out when they are in the driver seat and moving.

 

[RoadRamblerNJ]

You can see these idiots all day long, anywhere yo go. Sure wish I still had that job where I got to drive the fast car with the blue & red lights on top. I didn't write many tickets (got 2 reprimands for not writing enough) but I would write this up all day long.
Used to be when you saw somebody driving under the speed limit, leaving a 300 yd. gap in front and drifting way over the line, you knew you had a really drunk driver.
I like to get right up next to them and blast my horn. Holy cow does that scare the crap out of them! I know, I know, not the smartest move but it is big fun.
I have the big grille guard in case a surprise, 24 hour Purge is announced.
Seriously though, this is killing people. I also ride and bikers have no chance if "20 something Nancy" just drifts right into them. Fines need to include mandatory jail time, even for first time offenders. That will stop most of it. The rest, well, just let us put them in the weeds. I paid a grand for that equipment. I'd like to use it.

Glad to hear you're OK, bummer on the new truck. Hope you're able to get if fixed at "zero" deductible by the other insurance complany.

Yes I am...STL RAMS...hated that the owner played our city to move them back to LA...But his wife has tall the money and she owned the property they are building the new stadium on...more cash in their pockets. And I also remember watching Roman Gabriel ...yep, I'm old too!!

I ride too...my wife used to but now only on mine with me...she said she was done trying to battle the idiots...I have left my share of boot prints/dents in drivers doors over the years...
My helmet has a sticker that says, "Loud pipes save lives...MINE!" Amazing they can t hear those Rinehart custom pipes when I rev it high right next to them..
