    Pharm.....are you a member of OOIDA? If you are, they have a spreadsheet that is very helpful. It is called "Cost Of Operations" and uses excel. I have found this to be a great tool in my business.

    Here is another try at it ..... if you can't read it, just copy it and put it in MS word and enlarge it.....you will be able to see it in detail.

    BB - About the ticket/ overpayment idea - I heard about that and tried it 4 years ago in MO - it didn't work for me that I'm aware of. I mailed in $5 over each of the fines (2 separate infractions) figuring that $10 extra was worth it. Unless I'm not reading my MO MVR right, they did show up. I'll be having a full background run on myself sometime this month and I should know for sure then. They were minor citations I got in my car, but I'd like to know all the same.

    PP - Sorry to hear about the "road award" - sounds like a speed trap to me. After trying to fight tickets in the past, a lawyer seems to be worth the cost (if they can actually do something with it). It stinks to get ticketed, "cash register justice" is a joke IMO. With the economy we have right now, they're out there digging for as much revenue as they can - drivers BEWARE.
