    I’ve never once been asked for mine. I thought it was registered with the revenue office so they could tell if it was up to date. I heard I’m supposed to carry it with me now.

    Yeah, always did....long form and card. I really don't know why, just it seemed like you never knew what some jackarse was gonna ask for. But, yeah, the card at least.

    Yes. I carry the long form signed page. I give a copy to my mgr, and make a copy for my briefcase in the truck. I keep the original at home.

    Mine lives in my cab folder. I only need it at work so not sure there's a better place for it.

    Nobody has ever asked me for it, either. I've had many inspections and it's never happened.
