By the way, I see youre in the Elk Grove area, I was there a couple years ago working out a problem with one of our suppliers. Really nice area, I enjoyed going to the park in the evenings and watching the Elk herd. Also, a lot of nice parkways in the area.

Was it bussie woods? I am about 2 blocks away from where the elk are its pretty cool to see them. I still cant get over how big some of those elk are!

Leave the truck alone till the insurance person sees it, otherwise they wont assess the damage right. If you start fixing it they wont see how bad it really is. I know I wouldnt want to wait for them to come out either, but you have to for them to value the claim correctly...

My insurance doesn't raise rates unless you have more than 1 accident on file. It would be easier to just pay your deductible. It sucks but maybe they wont raise your rates if you explain what happened. But like someone earlier mentioned, see if there are security cameras.

Agreed. Don't do anything else. That way it gets fixed completely.
