A license plate is required if the Trailer Profile will be used on ACE or ACI eManifests. For ACE eManifests it is possible to enter two license plates (for double-drop trailers), but for ACI eManifests only one license plate should be entered. Because of this is is recommended that the user enter only one license plate per Trailer Profile so that it will be compatible with both ACE and ACI.
