    I had 320 on mine when I got it, then, when I put the new bumper on it, I put a 3 on the hood, just to honor RCR . (This is an old Richard Childress Racing test truck.)

    I picked # 14 then Tony Stewart won a championship that year. Somebody already has 114 trailer # so I had to go with # 141 on that. Back of my sleeper cab has a Nascar #14 on it. The fenders up front have cool race car font 14's.

    First 2 digits are the year and second 2 digits the truck # for that year

    T-1507 is a 2015 and the 7th truck bought this year , trailers are just consecutive #s from the first trailer I ever bought so newest trailer is TRL-96

    I always think long and hard before I give my truck a number, the # has to fit the truck's personality.. Current truck is 38DD. Have used NCC 1701 ( Star Trek ),9/16, BR 549 ( Hee Haw telephone number ), 33 1/3 , 3 .1416 ( Pi ), 8675309 ( Rock and Roll song ) , R2D2 ( Star Wars ). Fun to think about, and at times will make a DOT inspector laugh a little.

    If you're not leased to anyone, you only need Co Name and DOT#. The others are not required anymore.

    Not leased on. Got my own numbers and LLC. The amount of input from everyone has been helpful. Can't thank y'all enough.
