The license plate is good to have, the company name certainly (most will have the phone number posted on it as well). It's a comprehensive loss on your insurance & considered "fault free" which means your rates won't be affected. I've file two claims for damaged windshields directly against construction vehicles hauling materials. They've been very willing to step up and take care of my windshield after I provided a photograph, location of loss, time of day, and vehicle number. I'm also in the insurance business and can tell you that your company "might" attempt to subrogate against the carrier for the truck after you've filed your claim and your insurance company has had to pay. If you were to file with your company, you're responsible for the deductible, and your company is only entitled to recover the amount they paid - so, knowing that, I filed against the carrier of the construction vehicle and it didn't cost anything but the time involved in providing the information and getting the work done.
I've been a bit wordy here in hopes I've been able to help others who might be faced with this issue in the future, and because I don't have squat to say about fishing right now. I hope some of you are nailin' 'em.
