    as title says i am looking in to some scania trucks in US, i am trying to search for their VIN numbers to see differences from european models , i need some way to get their VIN numbers from DOT/registration plate and i want that for free

    in my country this goes by simple putting licence plate number and date and get , insurance number,insurance company, truck model and basic data and vin number

    and yes they are mostly in NJ.....

    A lot of companies put the last 8 digits of the vin on the side of the truck, so look for stickers in the foto's.
    States like Co want the vin number on the side of the truck so they can run it in their computer. I dont myself due to the "I need a key cutting" scenario, but most do.
    No V8's here though, so they will have the smaller motors.

    Your vin should be on the inside of your drivers door frame or on the door itself.

    on those trucks it is on right side on rear pillar, but i did not see those trucks except on pictures i dont live in US , but interested in those trucks and would like to check spec differences by VIN number, for example i heard that there was no parabolic suspension , no air suspension .....while it was standard here

    i am planing to visit USA as soon as i save some money for that reason and to visit my family
