Don't just flag-thru anyone with a truck or trailer.

I saw a truck in my neighborhood doing work. Colorado plates, 5 years expired.
That means no car/truck insurance, probably no FL driver's license, probably paying no taxes, definitely not a licensed contractor with insurance.
and we welcome them ?
Who is going to stop every truck with a trailer to check for a driver's license, current tags, insurance, and workman's comp? Do you check just the driver or all the passengers as well? Where would you put these checkpoints? How do you justify putting up Villages checkpoints on public roads?

Better yet, now they have to be Florida plates and FL driver's licenses and provide proof of taxes as well????

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
