    Some of us have it painted on our rigs for legal or insurance reasons.

    But there's a whole lotta information there for someone that was just passing by.
    And no license plate or name
    I mean, if you can put all the rest of that together, you'd think the dude could come up with a name.
    Jus sayin

    Oh im not disagreeing just playing devils advocate here. most of the other info is easy. Just snap a picture of the side and jot down the trailer plate number. Most 4 wheelers dont know the plate on the truck is diffrent then the trailer. A lot of 4 wheelers also dont know about how USDOT tags work and their public info. Same as car plates. Not hard to run them.

    Wonder if the name truckers report confused him. Thought this was an agency to report truck drivers? :biggrin_25520::biggrin_25520:

    Before 1981 you had a Serial number. Next to no one except manufacturer can trace them.

    She would have a hard time finding anything. The vin on a T is only the engine #. Which also sets the date of the car.
    Serial Numbers

    It sounds like you got your wish and the driver did just that.
