How do I check the expiration date of my car insurance?

I have an old truck that's been sitting in my driveway for years. I've started using it to haul mulch, but I got to thinking... my insurance might have expired. How can I check?

“The good news is if you’ve been paying your car insurance bill every month, it probably hasn’t expired.
The first thing you should do to check the expiration date is call your insurer (if you know which company you used to insure the vehicle). An agent should be able to give you the details of your policy, including its expiration date.
If you don’t know who your insurer is or whether or not you’ve been paying for your insurance, you can check your credit card and bank statements for any outgoing payments to insurance agencies.
If your insurance has expired and you want to keep using your truck, get new insurance as soon as possible. Driving uninsured is
illegal
, and if you can’t provide proof of insurance, you could get into trouble.
If you do need new insurance, the
