Managing trailer license plates

This section manages the license plate information linked to the trailer. License plates are required when the trailer will be used on ACE or ACI eManifests.

Platform	Plate Rules
ACE eManifest	Up to two plates may be entered (e.g., for double drop trailers).
ACI eManifest	Only one plate is supported.

Best Practice: To maintain compatibility across both ACE and ACI systems, it is strongly recommended to enter only one license plate whenever possible.

Managing Plates

• Add License Plate to Trailer: Adds a new plate number and state/province.
• Edit: Updates an existing plate record.
• Delete: Removes the license plate from the trailer.

Internal Comments
