Hello again --

First off, sorry for sending the same story twice. My mail program
crashed just as I sent the first story out and I didn't think the
story went out. Once the server connection was re-established, I
resent my mail.

Having just returned from the Cook County State Police offices, I
learned something about collisions with trucks: it is MUCH more
important to get the carrier numbers off the door of the cab. The
officer took down my statement and called the same 800 number. They
told him that the trailer should have had a letter in front of the
four digits. He added they may find the driver, but it may take some
time. Seems like I had the right idea, just not the right information.

As an FYI, get info off the cab instead of the trailer.

To Rick Gill: yes, I remember those long bicycle flag poles; I
had one myself!! I wonder if they still exist - otherwise, I'm making
my own.......

To Roger Salmon: I'll check the supports tonight. Thanks for the tip!

Be safe on the road,
++ Paul
