Decoded identity

From the 17-character VIN via NHTSA vPIC

This VIN has not been decoded yet — the unit's carrier, inspection and plate history below is reconstructed from the FMCSA inspection feed regardless.

Decode evidence & sources

Deterministic structure

These fields come directly from VIN positions and the published checksum calculation, with zero store IO.
