my only guess

the plate that goes in the bottom left hand corner plate holder is missing? if i am not mistaken it identifies the hazards contained in the unit.I thought of that too but if it has no hazardous materials on board I believe you don't need a hazard label.
my only guess

Iirc the plate in the lower left identifying hazards is required to have something there stating non-hazardous if there are no hazardous products on board.Well that blows holes in my theory.

The problem isn't with the load or anything associated with what could be inside the trailer. The problem is something that would indicate that there is a rookie hand on the other end of the trailer.

Federal law was changed a few years ago that forbids the "Drive Safely" placard in the placard holder. The reason being is the idea that when responding to an accident the "Drive Safely" placard could misidentify the load to first responders and law enforcement. The new law only allows identification of haz-mat when a hazardous substance is present in a quantity that is sufficient to require placards.
Basically the new directive is intended to communicate "no placard, no haz-mat".

does it have to do with the locks?
It very well could.
Depending on your screen resolution you may not be able to see that one is a seal and the other is a padlock.

They both need to be on the right door then. The left door won't open until the right one does. Would have needed to zoom in to see that though.
i was leaving it for someone else but i think the lock is on the left side and the seal is on the right

Placing the lock on the left hand door does not prevent someone from tearing the seal off and opening the right hand door. By doing this you have access to the inside of the trailer. It is pointless to put a padlock on the left hand door.......unless what you are hauling is too large to fit through just one door.
If this driver keeps this practice up sooner or later he will have things stolen.

Ok so wait, the seal, is that the actual seam between the 2 doors, black line straight up the middle?? Because in both Blazer74 and Engineers pictures, all I see is what looks like a regular rubber door seal between the two when they close so water don't leak in. Is there another seal I'm not seeing. Also, Engineers pic is blurry when zoomed in but I does look like there are pad locks on both the left and right inner latches.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe in this case you should think of the seal like what is placed on an electrical meter to show tampering.

My second storage trailer is a roll up door, took some educational training with that one too. He would open it, and let it fly up. Its older, hence why its a storage trailer so I like to hold the pull strap when it opens to keep it from being so violent on the older door, and wheels, etc.
Some people are just numb.
