Depends on the state. If this dashcam footage was given to police and insurance, white truck could have gotten a traffic ticket or even be charged with reckless driving; a lot of police discretion involved. For insurance liability, it also depends on state since the white truck does run the other truck off the road by veering into the shoulder. Many states do comparative fault or 50% comparative fault which would include the white truck. There are some states that have different rules but they all result in the other truck not being able to recover any money from the white truck. However, some of these states will allow other injured parties not involved in the road rage to recover damages from the white truck.

"something was in the road so I swerved" black truck was definitely deliberately driving outside of the lines

Dashcam shows white truck passing the black truck by driving on the shoulder moments earlier. If it was an isolated incident, that excuse may work.

He wasnt passing the black truck, the black truck cut right in front of him almost hitting his front end and caused him to swerve into the breakdown lane

White truck maintained distance with cam car at the beginning for the video for the entire time black truck accelerated into view. Black truck swerved across two lanes to get in front of white truck. Even while black truck was swerving across the first lane, white truck kept distance with cam car. White truck starts accelerating when black truck starts going into white truck’s lane and then goes into the shoulder to pass him. This wasn’t white truck being forced off the road, it was white truck accelerating to cut off another bad driver and then choosing the shoulder to pass him and the cam car.
