Every year, thousands of truck drivers flock to IRP offices and stand in queue for hours waiting to renew their credentials. What follows, in many situations, are erroneous charges, fines, and delays in processing, which often end up putting truckers off the road. Fortunately for you, in an attempt to save you from all these predicaments, here are few tips to ensure that you don’t miss on your trucking renewals and permits.

Get Support To Manage Renewals For Trucking

This is where it comes in handy to have a trucking compliance firm to help you out. A good compliance agency, as a corporation, can ensure that your paperwork is done on time for IRP renewals and permits. This includes sending reminders to bring in documents for processing and ensuring that nothing is overlooked to avoid doing so.

This is where having a trucking compliance company helps your outcomes in handy. As a business, a good compliance company will make sure that your paperwork gets completed on time. This involves sending reminders to bring papers in for processing and ensuring that nothing is skipped to discourage the relevant governing body from accepting documents.

 Another advantage to hiring a compliance firm for trucking to help with your documents is that you now have an additional pair of eyes to identify irregularities and discrepancies. This will save you time (you don’t have to do it), and money (fines, or lack of time out of service) if anything is missed or entered incorrectly.

Make A Spreadsheet And keep Calendar Alerts

This is an easy technique for keeping track. Set up your calendar with reminders on when you are due to your different authorities and permits. Then set up a spreadsheet that enables you to highlight while handling each one. If you happen to have more than one person handling your renewals, you can also set this up on a shared drive like Google Docs. 

 

This is a simple method to keep track. Set up your calendar with alerts to when your various authorities and permits are coming due. Then set up a spreadsheet that allows you to highlight when each one is handled. You can even set this up in a shared drive such as Google Docs if you happen to have more than one person handling your renewals. Then emphasize each one as it is completed. All should be highlighted at the end of the year so that you know you have not missed a deadline.

 

It could be time to change your system if your current the system looks like this!
