Beat me to it, Kirk!
Probably no tag on the trailer. Similar to the mail delivery truck/van things, no tag, just a 6-8 digit serial number on the rear with decals. I assume the "385834" is that number. COuld be wrong though.

I have never been passed by so many vehicles. Trying to say that his old speeder is listening to the choir. Al A Gettysburg Pa

Re: The Danger That Lurks - Real World Traffic Case Studies
Hi All:
I-495 Southbound in MA at 60 mph.
JLine Transportation way to close.
This rig stopped tailgating thirty seconds after being phoned in proving it sometimes is worth your while.
