Same thing happened to me, but the rock broke the windshield and another dented the hood. Came from the same truck, I made it known that something had happened and got him to pull over, his trucking company paid for all the damages (over $1,000) as they should have.
Sometimes it is not about worrying about the small stuff, it is about what is right and the principle of it. I am not going to roll over and be screwed because someone makes it a little difficult to get proper restitution.....
