Crashes
The crashes this truck appears in
A crash report names the vehicle by VIN, and carries the injuries, the fatalities, whether it was towed and how many vehicles were involved.
The operator
Who was running it at the time
Every inspection and crash carries the DOT number of the carrier operating the truck that day — so the record reads both ways. From the truck you get the operator; from the operator you get the rest of what it runs.
