Glad to see you're ok. Hopefully the truck is easily fixed too.

Any publicity could hardly be bad. You were driving the speed limit
with a vehicle sufficiently marked and were rear-ended by a semi that
was probably exceeding the speed limit in that area. What's it posted
along there? 55? Or is it a 60-70 zone?

All that said, additional marker lights is probably a good idea.

I'm going to have to look for an additional set of lights and a
strobe or two for my 5 Ton.
