    Get up to 5 trucks; hire her, have her handle the drivers pay. No telling what you could gain there.

    Reminds me of a very long time ago.....channeling @JolliRoger...
    I was working road construction and it had been an awful week with rain. So my check was just over $100.
    I walked into a K Mart to cash my check and the sign says you have to purchase something in order to cash a check.
    I walked over to the cassette section and picked up Cheap Trick, Live at Bukadon (one of the best live records ever).
    So, I walked over to the cashier, and he rang me up and my change was just over $100.
    So the dude pulls out a wad of 20s and starts counting it out.....
    20, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100...
    I'm like, "Dude, I really think you need to do that over."
    He's like, "yeah, I think you're right."
    So, he starts again with the same wad of 20s, and this time he's like,
    $20, 30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100.
    He's like, "sounds about right?"
    I'm like, "sure man. Let's go."

    Hey, I gave the dude an honest chance

    I think there's a truck stop nearby. Either Selma Alabama or Tupelo.
    Selma, I think.

    Just adding the stuff in the gray box, the bill you paid does not include the $924 in labor. Also, they added the remaining stuff wrong, should be $1584.05, not $1594.05. I didn't check her recalc, but it looks like it includes the labor. Also, I didn't check the parts total. (One of my former jobs was Senior Financial Analyst at an insurance company. I do math in my head. Drives everyone around me crazy.)
