Future of Autos

There are 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.

It seems like daily the government adds more paperwork for commercial trucking for things like licensing, insurance, truck permits, along with fuel tax permits so the average commercial truck driver can spend a large amount of time doing paperwork instead of driving truck. Before started driving trucks I used to spend almost two hours a day doing paperwork but over the years I have developed some methods of make the process easier and faster.

The simplest time saving tip is to remember the old grade school advice: keep it simple stupid. You should commencement with a storage box and divide all the paperwork up into categories for things like fuel, insurance, state papers, truck permits, bingo stamps, etc. With the advent of modern technology you can save lots of time by using the internet to get most of your paperwork done for things like truck permits and fuel permits, many commercial truck stops have internet access and even many mobile phones can surf the net now so you should try to complete as much paperwork online and possible.

You should already be doing much of your paperwork online for things like truck permits and have all your paperwork in order so the next tip is thinking ahead and start to develop a habit of pre-planning and complete as much paperwork as possible before you even need it.
