    How long to keep Log Books?

    It's been a little over three years since my wife and I had to come in off the road, and in doing some cleaning before moving we started wondering if there was any legal reason to keep our old log books.

    I DEMAND a Re-Count

    I DEMAND a Re-Count. No way I could have lost. Look at the people who wanted to vote for me, they are stupid, and can't figure out how to vote for me. I know it was everyones intention to vote for me. It doesn't matter if they didn't cast a legal vote, the only thing is the will of the...

    Fuel Prices

    I did some rough calculations of how the fuel prices of today will affect our bottom line compared to a year ago. What I came up with is a figure of aprox $10,000 more for fuel, we do get a fuel surcharge on LOADED miles, but even that doesn't cover the extra cost on the loaded miles. The...
