Has anybody ever fought back against dumptrucks that drop rocks on the highway?

I was driving home on the highway and a dumptruck dropped rocks for a good 10 mile stretch of highway at 65-70 mph. Not just one or two rocks, about 2-5 pounds in many spurts. If I saw that it was dropping rocks before I actually got hit I would have fallen back and just let the truck go. But it came off of a ramp and was infront of me and the rocks put two cracks in my windshield and a bunch of white scratches all over the car. I then managed to get the liscense plates on the truck and the one in front of it, the company they were with, some camera phone pictures, and a rock that was jammed in my hood.

What can be done dealing with the trucks?
