Tips for truckers on truck permits

By: Scott Brandon

Most people hate paperwork and OTR commercial truck drivers and no different, Most truckers get paid by the miles they drive and not by the amount of paperwork they do but often times they have to spend lots of time doing paperwork for things like truck permits, fuel permits, insurance, freight paperwork, and licensing paperwork.

You will have to complete paperwork for fuel permits, overweight permits, hazmat permits, licensing for commercial trucking, along with insurance. As a trucker that gets paid for driving and not doing paperwork I have come up with some simple tips that any commercial trucker can use to save time and reduce the amount of time spent doing paperwork for things like truck permits so you can driving instead of pushing paperwork.

The simplest time saving tip is to remember the old grade school advice: KISS - keep it simple stupid. You should start with a storage box and divide all the paperwork up into categories for things like fuel, insurance, state papers, truck permits, bingo stamps, etc. Other things to keep in the storage box are pens, erasers, pencils, staples, stapler, along with some petty cash for emergency needs.

The next step is use the internet as you can now get most commercial truck permits online so if you have internet access (many truck stops have internet stations) you can often complete all the paperwork online and this will save you a ton of time.

At this point you should have everything sorted and whenever possible you should be completing the truck permits online so the final step is to plan ahead, as your driving down the road try to think of any truck permits or other paperwork you will need to finish in the next week, when you are waiting for the truck to fill up use this time to get a jump on the future paperwork needed for truck permits and do it then so you will start to get ahead of the game and before you know it you will have saved yourself lots of lost time and have all your truck permit paperwork done so you can spend your time driving instead of doing paperwork.

The final tip I have is more of a suggestion than an actual tip but if you are tired of the increasing costs and regulations involved in commercial trucking then I would like to ask that you get involved in your local politics and start to lobby against more regulations and increasing fees, you are not going to change the world yourself but if enough of us start to lobby against it we may just start to turn the tide.
