I would report the incident to the bus company main office.
Drivers are responsible for accidents and any damage they cause not only to your truck, but their bus.
The driver would have had to report or at least note damage to the bus. I would bet he has a broken mirror as well.
Also, the bus company would know what bus was where at what time to cause this damage. They probably even have GPS installed on their buses.
They need to make this right if it is their fault!

thats the weird thing, there was no obvious damage, i didnt see what happen to the bus couldnt have been much tho.... cause what had happen was it had barly nicked the side of my mirrior and it shatterd like it was ment to pop out on impact, the frame holding the glass didnt even ahve any dent ot ding to it. so i ahve no proof they did it... but i will call and let them no what happen, maybe they will put it on file

Welcome to the FTE club. As for your mirrors, if you don't plan on having a camper on your truck anymore, put originals on it. Takes a little getting used to, after having those big mirrors on, but you'll adapt. It will make your truck look even nicer.

True. Just a suggestion.
