I've never had to dodge one coming off the truck, but there are plenty of thrown caps (road gators) on the road, so it may just be a matter of time. The strangest thing(s) I've had to dodge were probably potatoes. Riding east of Bakersfield (more central CA) on the 58 a truck ahead of me hit a bump in the road and what looked like dirt clods started to fall off, but they didn't explode. They bounced!
Like footballs. Anywhere from 3 to eight feet high. At seventy miles per hour. Don't know how I managed to not hit any.
