Do you have to have a temporary permit for each state and province that you pass through or is one permit from one state or province good for all the other states and provinces that you transit.
Drove home from Alberta to Ontario through the States .......with one temp permit from Alberta,crossed border twice no problems.
I believe the vast majority of States and Provinces will honor temp permits from other jurisdictions but there are a few that don't (I think Massachusetts doesn't) so you pretty much have to check all the ones you'll be travelling through.
That said, I'd be surprised if you couldn't just plead ignorance if you ever got stop in a place that doesn't and simply get a warning (This is not proper legal advice !!!) Personally, I think that as long as you have proof of insurance and it's got a legal permit from somewhere, I don't think you'll get any hassles (I'm ashamed to say that I've actually been pulled over twice while driving with a temp tag (once speeding (I didn't see the speed reduction sign) and once on a no-truck road (I was lost and just trying to get back to the proper road)) and the temp was never an issue.
