    That's what I did. He did good, he's a really good driver. He's been driving for four years, all local so he knows what he's doing. He ran to Jax and woke me up five minutes out so I could guide him in to the building. He backs really well too. Jax had the load ready for tomorrow so we are gonna build the set then go back to Gainesville in the am drop the Gainesville and Tampa trailers then pick up a 53 for Miami and haul ### south. He got a lil flustered with the trip planning ( really the only reason I'm with him) because he's only ever done p&d but he will be okay, I told him not to sweat it because a few months ago I was in the same spot he is in.
    He seemed very relieved when I gave him directions to the hotel lol. I'm making him drag the wiggle wagons in the morning...his first time. This ought to be fun because my first time was interesting, the only knowledge I had of them was the ten questions I passed to get the endorsement lol. The whole time to the hotel I was asking him how many pictures he's seen on the internet of a truck with the kite laying on it's side.....no pressure lol.

    I think you are being abused otter. The truck owner is somewhere nice and warm and you are in that mess.

    So when is it gonna start snowing? Snow total is 4 inches in the last 24 hours on Snoqualmie.

    When it gets like 4 inches in like an hour, then it's snowing.

    Safety First!!!!
