15.  CERTIFICATION LABEL LOCATION 

Every Bushtec trailer is assigned its own unique WMI compliant VIN number which is 
located on a Certification label on the trailer chassis.  The VIN tag is located on the 
chassis neck under the nose of the body and can be viewed from the left side of the 
trailer.  Besides containing the year, make, model, and VIN number, it also contains 
information on axle weight rating, gross vehicle weight rating, rim size, and tire size and 
pressure information, it indicates that the trailer meets all DOT requirements.
