Great video! One other thing i do is right on the first page once you open a binder i put a sheet of paper with a list of documents in the folder and corresponding page. Quite often you or the DOT officer doesn't need all of the documents, so helping him finding the right document helps both of us.

I have learned something New Thanks to You! I Will Definitely Be looking into this. THANK YOU SO MUCH ! GOD Bless!

Just so you don't get into any tax trouble: It's not tax exempt...it's sales tax exempt (and only in a few states). No one is "tax exempt" (unless it's a non profit) lol ;-)

This is the first video I ever seen on KZread with zero dislikes , that’s cool !
In this order Truck registration, Trailer registration, insurance, ifta. Everything else after IFTA. Make it easy for the cops. I’ve never had them go past the IFTA point in 31 years of driving

Unfortunately you are incorrect, annual inspection is a must lease agreement if you run ender someone authority, KY NY OR NM permits beneficial, most of this state's go electronic latly.ELD reference card and 7 days of logbook is must if running LED. Same tax exemption only good for specific State, most of time just use MC# ...Be safe driver , Me , only 24y.bihind will 48lover and Alaska.

I watched this video right before I started trucking. As soon as I was assigned my own truck I did just this.
