RR, I get what you are saying, I am not gonna say it was smart..but my understanding is the fine is smaller for forgeting to log..than lying, I might be wrong..It really doesn't matter, my truck is parked anyway.......

Now if I can find someone to let me run it like I log it I'll be happy....lol

they go by how long u are out of date,falseifing a logbook is now a felony crime.if it don't match your tolls and fuel reciepts,then u better tell them u don't have one.buddy of mine's 23 year old son spent 3 days in jail in Maine for falseifing his logs

How old is it? if it came with Vista then you should be fine. goto start then computer and right click to properties. let us know what the cpu ghz and ram are

Redrider · **^ Top** #**10145** 08.25.2008

i have also determined that geographic location will determine your success or failure in this business.somebody tell me i'm wrong

Thats fine as long as you have space you'll have no problems, you may have to get patches for your programs if they were DL'd for XP. To check free space goto start computer open then look at free space under the drive letter c:

as to your theory on logistics determining sucess or failure I would think ones willingness to make personal sacrifice is more likely to make that determination than location. IE living in bad lane= minimal hometime. if your not willing to give that up or move to a better lane location it would certainly doom an operation.
