I drive a straight truck, the plate is convienently bent and obscured from the above angle by lift gate parts, been like that for 2 years.
How would they go about enforcing it by a trailer anyway, is it up to the company to track down who was pulling that trailer at the time?

In some states anytime you are in the intersection under red you are in violation. Weather you crossed the stop line under yellow, or even green, is immaterial.

When I'm approaching a stale green light, if I'm sipping along in low rpm's I downshift so my rpm's are at least 1500 then engage the Jake on high (without taking my foot off the throttle). The reason I do this is in the event the light turns yellow just as I'm entering the "go" or "no go" decision I will have maximum Jake power to assist light application of brakes if I decide to stop. Even with totes full of Hazmat liquid it's surprising how little room you need to stop. My truck has muffled jakes, so I disregard the "No Jakes" signage.
If you don't downshift in this situation and continue to cruise in low rpm's the Jake won't help very much at all. The Jake will turn itself off at 800 rpm's to avoid stalling the engine, and provides very little braking effect below 1200 rpm.
Be heads up approaching stale green lights and prepare for the yellow.Requiemforroksy Thanks this. -

"""No. Cameras are set so that only those vehicles that enter the intersection after the light has turned red are photographed. Vehicles entering the intersection on yellow, and still in the intersection when the light turns red, are not photographed."""
The above is on TX DOT website I just saw. I suppose a tractor trailer still counts as one vehicle.Lepton1 Thanks this. -
Best way to get a free family photo get the wife and kids on the back of the pick up and smile as you drive through.
