Now that you have got me on my bluff I am gonna have to develop a new strategy. I put her social security number on the back of the trailer. Lady at the Walmart distribution said. You cant do that. I had to explain it is not real it is just the thought that helps. Then she wanted a spot for her x-husband.

And here I was skipping to the trukk thinking I was gonna finally meet the one for me. Oh well.

Thats correct. Last i knew no battery box cover is not DOT legal. Have noticed trucks with makeshift , bungy cord covers. Looks like this guy should have left that piece of junk set in their lot. Take pictures, walk in before you leave and show them. Then say "bye bye".Lab work Thanks this.

I wasn't positive, so I went and looked..
Yes, battery box covers are required.
§393.30 Battery installation.
Every storage battery on every vehicle, unless located in the engine compartment, shall be covered by a fixed part of the motor vehicle or protected by a removable cover or enclosure. Removable covers or enclosures shall be substantial and shall be securely latched or fastened. The storage battery compartment and adjacent metal parts which might corrode by reason of battery leakage shall be painted or coated with an acid-resisting paint or coating and shall have openings to provide ample battery ventilation and drainage. Wherever the cable to the starting motor passes through a metal compartment, the cable shall be protected against grounding by an acid and waterproof insulating bushing. Wherever a battery and a fuel tank are both placed under the driver's seat, they shall be partitioned from each other, and each compartment shall be provided with an independent cover, ventilation, and drainage. -
Now you have to ask yourself, if they’re willing to let the truck go on the road without a battery box which is DOT mandated,what else are they trying to cheap out on?
