I used family members birthdays for my truck numbers and added a "T" to the number for the trailer, The trucks that had my childrens birthdays on them I put a small amount in there savings accounts every month. On the weekends they helped take care of and wash and clean "there" trucks. It worked out well they learned about what there dad did to make a living for them and when they were old enough to drive they had the money in there savings accounts to buy there first personel vehicle. We got to spend time together as a family,My oldest son could back a 379 Peterbilt with a 53' trailer up as good or better than any expierenced driver I knew at 12 years old. He used to watch me do it and learned how I moved the wheel and said one day he wanted to try it and he did and was good at it.That is just the way I came up with truck and trailer numbers!!!!!!

i used my 2 girls birth years. 9402

 

mines is 112 in honor of the 112th field artillery regiment my national guard unit who happens to be the oldest artillery regiment in the US military

 

I used 999 so that I could let some of the German background in me come out. Went nice with the glider truck. When someone says they need a load taken to California, "NINE, NINE, NINE! I don't do those loads!"
