 Greetings, there is a coleman oil tanker truck in spokane, wa that never stops at the two railroad tracks in front of our business. why does every other truck driver stop, yet he does not? he is truck #50 with an idaho license number 7668. he has a few marker lights not working on his tanker, too.
