Best Answer

You could be thinking of a couple different things here. If it's a manufacturer's logo, it could be a model number. If it's accompanied by the name of an engine manufacturer, it'll probably be the horsepower rating of the motor (some European manufacturers, namely Scania, were also known to include motor displacement in their badges).

However, you're probably thinking of the fleet number, which is added by the company. It's simply a categorisation number, and the methods of doing this will vary by company, and may ultimately indicate what region of the country the unit is dispatched from, what commodities its intended to haul, etc. A small fleet might use the traditional 1,2,3,4, etc. method of numbering, whereas a large company is more prone to using a more complex method.
