ok, I got the chicken in the oven so I can better retort.
I don't know your reasons for coming to this site, and really - it doesn't matter. This is what I do know.
Sometimes you get thrown a bone and sometimes you don't. You still have to take that bone for what it is. Sometimes that bone has more meanings that what is written and you have to learn how to read it.
You have to gather your information and read everything you can to learn how to gather your numbers. Everyone has their own system. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Some better than others. Some work great together for a time and then you have to readjust. You are going to have to sit and work on your numbers and that is all there is to it. No matter if it is for one state, several or all. I have only been gather information for texas and a few other states, but really been working with texas. I am not totally sure if the other states I have are good sister states yet, so I have been sitting in them. Just like with the info for what I posted for 300, Sure I can say just by reading that, that vtracs 4,5 and 3 are good, but that is really a large range of numbers. if I had more info on my sister states and traveling numbers then I could narrow it down to more exact actual numbers. Im just not there yet but I am working on it.
People here want to help you and will help you. When you ask a question that appears that you want a answer without legwork, your going to get set aside. Ask questions that are directed toward you learning how to read the numbers, you will get help. There was nothing wrong with your question, I think the problem is the ones who have done the work are tired of hand holding ones that appear as if they don't want to learn. I am starting to see that now that I have gained SOME knowledge and emphathize more everyday to the ones that know way more than I do.
Learn your numbers. Learn every system available to you. Vtracs, filters, excel - whatever. Find what works for you. You are not going to find tonights answer without it and tonight for that matter.
I have the vtracs lessons in word format if you want it, and also the filters class we had a while back. I can send you what I have but it is up to you what you do with it. If nothing else become a paying member and that will help alot. I am not yet, but I have been told so and I believe them. I personally want to learn everything I can and then take advantage of full membership. I am told that isn't the best way. I believe that too. I am just hard headed.
