VIN Numbers on side of truck

I think I can get a key made at a dealer if I know your vin number, It'll be an honest way to steal your truck.

 

I put the last 8 of my VIN just like my previous employer, Stevens Transport. I really don’t get pulled in into weight stations. I have a PrePass.

 

If you really think that helps ,then put your life story on the side, don't stop short of anything that could be useful.

Vin#
Icc#
Mc#
Truck#
State permit#s
(PUC# , KYU#, NM#, ETC ETC ETC)
Street address
Town, state, Zip code
Company phone number


Maybe for good measure add;

Blood type(yes I've seen this)
First aid kit location
CPR certification (if applicable)
Fire extinguisher location
CPAP in use (or not)
Any company safety award info






We run Interstate in all lower 48, it has made ZERO difference at the scales by having only the basic REQUIRED info lettered.... None of that other non-required garbage.


.

 

CARB number is not required for companies that reside out of the state of CA ....

If your company registration shows a California address THEN you need a carb # for your reefer.... That goes on the TRAILER TRU.


USEPA is required in all 50 , you don't need to vinyl that info either.

 

You forgot shoe size
Fax number
email address

 

Colorado likes the last 8 or truck number on the side of the truck. They can go by license plate if they are quick enough to get it when you roll on the scale. I just had a nice chat with them a month or so ago. They can use VIN, DOT plus truck number or plate to look you up.

 

What's the big deal about putting at least the last 8 on the side your truck? You're acting like we're suggesting your SS# be listed....loosen the brim of the tinfoil hat a bit...

 

Tinfoil hat is someone thinking the last 8 of their VIN displayed, helps limit their chance of an inspection at the weigh station

 

I thought Oregon was anal...

I still think if you put your SS #, DOB, Email address with pw, cc # with 3 number security code, they'll never ever pull you in
