Comment
I have now loaded our company fleet into at least three different,
ARB issued Fleet Worksheets.  About the time I think I am working
on the most recent version of the calculator, a new one appears. 
Several days ago I received an e-mail that stated the worksheet
was once again updated.  I loaded information for over 700
machines into the worksheet only to find that nothing really had
changed, and that the update that was supposed to be included in
the e-mail was nothing more than the worksheet I already had.

I have real concerns as to the accuracy of the worksheet in its
entirety.  Over the weekend I loaded our fleet inventory into what
Erik White advised is the most recent ARB Fleet Worksheet dated
April 2007, Version 1.1, and found some typographical errors that
I believe should be corrected to reflect a more professional
working document.  On the “READ ME FIRST” tab at the bottom of the
spread sheet, I found the following misspelled words:

Tolls should be Tools
Seclect should be select
Caculations should be Calculations
itereations should be iterations
Similary should be Similarly
Requirments should be Requirements
Conversly should be Conversely

Although the misspelling of words does not constitute any
immediate problem that I can see, it does raise my suspicions
about the accuracy of the worksheet calculator.  If misspelled
words are present in this CARB issued document, especially with
today’s word-processing tools such as spell check, is it possible
that the calculator may have errors as well?

Also, it was my belief from CARB staff that an “Hours of
Operation” option was to be included in the calculator.  I did not
see anything in this worksheet that includes that option.

Respectfully,

Gary E. Rohman
