    I was thinking Car54.

    4Star is hit or miss (mostly miss), but I did have Don, co-owner, for a few runs and he was good. I was just thinking that would be the best way to get into the biz without dropping so much money to outfit a truck and start up. Make sure that's what she really wants to do before investing her own money.
