Was in stop and go traffic on N I-65 just before 80. I stopped and the car behind me "sneezed" and didn't. He hit me hard enough to jar me in the seat, I thought it was another truck.

Luckily, neither of where hurt and he was able to drive off with a few thousand in damages to his front end. At worst he put a few scratches on my ICC bar.

Now I just have to wait 3 days for the accident committee to review it and assign blame. The regional saftey manager said he doesn't expect me to be found at fault ( as I expected).

Regional:

Regional Route

Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.

I get to drive, I just have to wait 3 days to find out if I lose my safety bonus and miles.
