Feedback on a digital permit book

Hey everybody,

Im looking to get some feedback from experienced truck drivers on the practicality of a digital permit book app. Lots of states are claim to accept electronic credentials at roadside instead of a paper permit, is that your experience? Has anyone moved to carrying/displaying digital permits and scrapped the permit binder? I appreciate your thoughts!

 

SInce 2019 all member jurisdictions have to accept a legible electronic image of both a current year IFTA Licence and IRP Apportioned Cab Card. Many jurisdictions are allowing drivers to carry and display oversize/overweight permits electronically instead of having a paper document as well. In practice I wondered how many drivers use that method for compliance.

I can certainly appreciate having too many apps on my phone though

 

Yea definitely oversize/overweight permits as I've read most states accept digital copies of those. IFTA licences and IRP cab cards must be accepted that way too (according to the legislation anyways). It seems the traditional paper permit book is ripe for innovation IMHO

 

As long as your pen doesn't run out of ink!
