If the rust spots are evenly spaced, you can use surface stitches to cover them. Good stitches might be Smyrna cross stitch, satin-stitch heart, queen stitch, satin stitch lozenges/triangles, palestrina knots, etc. If the spots are not evenly spaced, balance the design by adding extra stitches between the spots.
Fortunately, most states require drivers to equip their trailers with brakes and devices known as brake controllers. When a driver presses on the brake pedal in his truck, the brake controller lets the trailer's brake system know how much braking power is needed to stop the trailer.
The automatic train stop, train control, or cab signal apparatus shall be so arranged as not to interfere with the application of the brakes by means of the brake valve and not to impair the efficiency of the brake system.
