The trucking company is completely liable.  Especially if 1.) the truck is 
loaded above the top of the truck. 2.) it the protective cover is not over 
the load properly.
This happened to my brother inlaw 2 years ago his turbo talon was not more 
than six months old when the dump truck in front of him hit a bump and 
sprayed some gravel all over his hood.  He flagged down the truck, got his 
info and a week later he had a new hood from the truck company.  It may have 
helped that he had a video camera with him when they stopped but the truck 
company is responsible
