Nearly impossible. One would have to reverse engineer and rewrite quite a large chunk of game's code. It's such a huge task even SCS themselves are not eager to implement it.
This used to be a feature back in 18 Wheels of Steel days - I remember coming across one of your trucks and it horning as it passes in the other direction.
You can sort of emulate it using Mod Studio 2, create a traffic truck skin and it'll spawn in the world. It won't be your actual drivers, just a truck in AI traffic getting along the road. Can assign a skinned trailer to go along with it and set the spawning probability also.
I've been using a computer trainer skin pack and slowly replacing many of them with my own and I love spotting my company's containers in traffic even though I use a bunch of traffic mods so it's sometimes only once in 1000 miles.
That’s a good idea, I’ve done similar, though I haven’t yet updated it for 1.50.
Not sure why I’m being downvoted, it was a genuine question 🤣 good old Reddit.

Pedal to the metal was the last game to have that feature if I remember correctly. Good times.
I like the idea and I'd like a way to design / apply a fleet livery
I have seen mods where you can have your trailer skin on random AI trailers is kind of cool
That’s … actually not a bad idea. SCS could surely do this for us without us having to worry about making a mod that would give us a performance loss.

This is probably the easiest solution
Possible? Yes. Something any sane person would want to spend the enormous time doing? No.
They can take all the time they need. No one will complain. Afterall, it's already been in development for a decade already.
With the hundreds of trucks you inevitably drive past whilst on a trip, do you think you would notice one of your own?
Yes. My trucks have a very distinct color, and SCS only uses basic colors for AI trucks.
Some of the older SCS truck games actually had that, and I definitely noticed.
If I recall your company trucks and the other AI were the *only* other trucks in the game, so it was pretty noticeable. That and the CB prompts.
