what Documents are Required in cab at Scale

hi , Please bare with me I'm local driver for last 3 years and a lot of my loads where out of the way of weigh stations and only been to scales few times and never was pulled in. Now I just took on new job OTR and going to Atlanta,Ga from California.


I'm just curious about exactly what happens if you get the red light and have to pull into the weigh station. I know they can ask for your logbook,medical card and CDL. and insurance.

The company is real small with 2 trucks and provided me a truck which has
-Cab Card, Ifta licesnse and Insurance document that's it .


What about any other documents that are required for OTR trucking ? I have some questions on the below documents that I heard that i need ?

registration ? is that same as CAB-CARD which i have or do i need some other paperwork like IRP documents ?


what is "permit book " which permits go in there ? I'm going from Calfornia to Atlanta,GA and back.

I asked them for NewMexico Permit , they said they don't have any hard copy but they are registered and told me some kind of number ? Is that right ?, or do i need some kind of hard copy documentation for that ? ..


Which IfTA document to keep it the cab ? Do i need it ?

-And Please tell me if there is any other document that is required to keep in the cab so i can ask the owner to provide me before i pickup load next week.

Thanks Alot

 

thanks guys for the response.

I forgot to mention i have following documents :
-IFTA licenses paper
-Cab Card Paper , It has all the states i'm traveling.
-Insurance Paper

Now the question remains is that do i need
- Any IRP documents ?
-New Mexico permit hard copy or just having the N.M permit number is enough ?

 

Hi Spokester,
What is CARB emissions certificate. or Weight and Tax Indentifier ?

 

thanks Sly Fox, I really appreciate your repsonse.

Yes i do have IFTA ,CAB CARD , Insuranc both for truck and Trailer,

I was just worried about New Mexico Permit but you clarified that i don't need hard copy if the company is registered.

So i guess i'm good and yes i don't haul hazmat or alcohol .
