Trailer numbers

Avatar says it all...lmao

 

I'm not sure of any regulation requiring numbers. If it's your trailer, put a number wherever it's convenient for you.

 

Most trailers have num. on L ft. side of trailer so dummy at the shack can see it to put your num. on BOL

 

It's a good idea to put a number at the inside rear of the trailer on the wall so the loader can look and verify that he is about to load the right trailer.

 

Ideally there should be a number on the front corners so can be seen from front or side if backed in amongst a line of trailers.

One visible from the back. It can be on a door, preferably driver side, or rear lower main frame member below the doors (so can be visible if doors are latched open)

And one inside the trailer.

 

The law does not address the issue of numbers etc on your trailer. Whatever makes you happy.

 

Put numbers in different languages. In some places nobody can read English.
For some shippers put this placard

 

I hauled 3 brand new flats from the manufacture across country to office. With nothing but the envelopes for each trailer. The two top ones got offloaded and i kept the one i was hooked up to. Dragged it around the country for a month with a temporary before it got plated and numbered.

I thought i would be hassled but was never stopped.
