Upon closer inspection, the grills on our cars have wider openings which (if you're very unlucky like me) allows for wide flat rocks to enter. And since this damage was caused by road debris, it is not covered under warranty leaving me a hefty repair bill.
Have you looked at your insurance? Generally, comprehensive coverage includes flying objects as an insured peril. If it flew off of, or went airborne as result of being driven over by, the flatbed ... it meets the definition of flying object and should be covered. Assuming you have comprehensive. If you only have specified perils, check whether it's a listed peril.
