This is one of those mistakes you usually only find out about after you’ve made it.

Normally when you’re tracking down a vehicle associated with a skip trace, background check or criminal activity you get the license plate number and that’s enough right? Well, with rental trucks, vans and even tractor trailer rigs it’s frequently more helpful to have the company vehicle number that’s usually stenciled on the truck or van (or trailer) itself.

Of course you still want the license plate number but, the rental company usually keeps track of who rented the vehicle by the vehicle number assigned by the rental company!
