You could be held responsible for any accident that you caused.
Re: Personal injury
If you were in the course and scope of your employment, or driving the truck with the company's permission, even though not on the job, the Company and you are responsible. That would be the case even if the Company was insured. Practically speaking, you would be sued but the other party usually just goes after the insurance company. Speak to your personal insurance company that covers your personal vehicles. There is a very good chance they would be responsible in this case. Don't quit just because they tell you the company's insurance is responsible, dig and you may find you are insured under your personal vehicle insurance.
