I've actually been moving a lot of your freight here lately, well not exactly "yours", but you get my drift. 6 loads since last wednesday, 5 of them yours, but not really "yours"It's been a phenominal week for me. I'm really not looking forward to the dropoff after the holidays. Then the ball is in your park so to speak... ...I guess you do gotta pay for that sailboat somehow

Oh I loved DDL! BUT I would think about it before you stop buying logs and printing them! The cost in Ink will be way more tan the cost of log books!
Having the program up and running was great for the "at a glance" to see how I was doing, But I just kept the paper log book it's self because the company paid for it and most of the top lines were already filled out and all I had to do was draw pretty lines and fill in the rest. No printer ink to waste and if called into the scales all I had to say was I use DDL and check the book with it and it was a quick flip through it for the officer and get it handed back! I did have a conservation with one DOT about EBORs and he was telling me that he hated having to wade through those programs and preferred DDL as it was all on one easy to see page. I had only 1 DOT officer that had never seen it at the old scales on I-71 just north of Columbus before they closed them. He was a rookie so he had a lot to learn!
What makes it a great tool is saving the whole year in a file and you have exactly what the IRS will need if you ever have an audit! I can tell you all that all the log books I have from more than 7 years back take up a LOT of space! I have the what 6"x10" ones and then the loose leaf 8"x11" which is a lot of paper! My last couple of years I just kept the things in their own envelope until the end of the year for my accountant if she needed then and then trashed them as I had a short computer file that will last for ever unless someone pulls the plug on the internet!
A technical tip for everyone: If you use a CD or DVD to store your tax files on, the CDs you burn with your computer will lose whats saved to them over time. They are not like what you buy at the store as it's a much different format. Now that solid state is here like flash drives and solid state drives the chance of loss is slim unless you walk under a big magnet or some country explodes an EMP bomb close to you! I now do my back ups to a SSD and a CD for just in case.
Just remember when an audit comes up it's not the IRS who has to prove you wrong because in their eyes you are because they are doing the stupid audit. It's the tax payer who must prove the IRS is wrong! Have everything you claimed on a tax report either in paper or on a readable computer file! -
