Document Automation Delivers * USA - Better Mileage To Trucking Industry

Well... maybe you can eat a sandwich, but don’t try to expense it without a receipt !!

Tarrytown,NY,USA -Datacap.blog, by David Jenness -July 15, 2010: -- A little known and critical element of success that trucking companies are just waking up to is how they manage paper. Transportation companies know all too well that the industry runs on paper documents. Drivers out on the road cannot load a truck, deliver a payload, fill their fuel tank or eat a sandwich without filling out a paper document... What a typical driver carries with him: According to a regular driver, here’s a list of the documents a driver must have ready to present if pulled over:

1. Daily log book
2. Proof of valid and current insurance
3. IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement)
4. Bills of lading in the proper format (make sure the shipper has signed the bill under “shippers certification,” among other things)
5. Drivers license with the proper endorsements
6. Valid medical card
7. Tractor and trailer registration
8. If you haul hazmat (hazardous materials):

* Proper endorsement
* Carrier’s authority to haul haz-mat
* Emergency response guide book
