				  days, a new timber tare weight shall be established for that vehicle.
(d) A current actual tare weight that differs
				  from the timber tare weight for that vehicle by more than plus or minus two
				  percent (±2%) must automatically cause the establishment of a new timber
				  tare weight for that vehicle.
(e)
				  When any vehicle fails to obtain a current tare weight when required by the
				  program to update the timber tare weight, the existing timber tare weight shall
				  be used for that load and the system must automatically cause the establishment
				  of a new timber tare weight for that vehicle.
(f) Vehicles with cribs or inserts for short
				  logs, mule trains, and self loaders shall not use a timber tare weight unless
				  the cribs, inserts, or self loading apparatus are permanently
