    WOOOO! Slow your roll there pops! I never said anything about stealing anything. READ before you blast flamer! I only suggested it in the start of the post that he look for it, and said I can't remember the name! Don't ever accuse me of anything you have no facts on!!! If you look more careful, I did not repost at all after the time he suggested it. So get a coffee and watch what your typing!

    I never said you did. Slow down....go back and read....only one person said anything about getting anything for free....and it wasn't you.. Apology accepted....in advance! :biggrin_25525: Remember.....when you are reading something.....the current sentence ends with a punctuation mark....(i.e. ! . ?) And the new sentence stated that I didn't believe that Manny or youself would steal...... Read it R E A L slow if necessary. See....this is why we can't carry guns anymore....someone misunderstands something and shoots another good guy before they stop and think about what was said.....

    Well if thats the case, I do apologize. But the way you worded it does make it look like you are continuing the same subject of your rhetorical question. Might I suggest a new paragraph when you are changing topics.

    Again if you did not mean to mention me in that context I do apologize. I have served my country with higher then top secret clearances. I really take my honor seriously. I am not saying I am a perfect citizen, but I take it personal if someone would label me a theif or something.

    FOUND IT!!! At the J at exit 3 on I-20 in LA. They actually had several. And, they had another 2 disc set by the same author dealing with the business end of trucking. There is a website on the back of the jewel case..... BUT, when I plugged in the website....it took me to some used truck site.... seems like someone has hijacked the guys domain. Whoever said it was a purple Volvo was right....and it was like $22..... I'll keep looking. Next time I'll try to get more info....but SWMBO was ready to get driving.....something about having to get to Phoenix on time..... Details... Details....

    I just got off the phone with that flying J.... They marked it down to $12.00 They're not even going to carry them anymore after they've sold em all! Oh, and it's called "Smart trucker Maximize your income." Or something like that. I will try to see if I can find it somewhere else, and then I will let you all know.

    :biggrin_25519:I did good on my research on this guys...... Hopefully I have redeemed myself for that whole limewire comment?
    Ok, the company that made it was called, Smart Trucker. An article about them is on http://www.huntingtonnews.net/finance/050409-staff-truckers.html
    As you can see the website is no longer working, and neither is the number! That and the fact that the Flying J, told me that they where on sale, and no longer going to sell them..... Well, it sounds to me like Smart Trucker have caved.
    But guys, we're not at a total and complete loss.... Here are some other O/O books: Gearing Up 4 Profits, (also made by Smart trucker, however I found it on Amazon.)
    The Truth about O/O's
    Quick and Simple record keeping for O/O's.
    That's all I found so far. if anyone else can add to the list, or can figure out what's going on with that company let me know. :biggrin_25519:

    If I'd have known it was only $12...I'd have bought one for myself!! It sure didn't have a mark down price on it. Dangit! :biggrin_25518:
