    The only issue I have with being on the smaller side is pulling the trailer tandem release handle. Sometimes on the older trailers, I just can't get it and have to ask for help.

    You will find countless useful and valuable threads on this site. Please take the time to search them out and read them, especially the ones pertaining to CR England.

    Don't rush into it...trucking will be there even if you take an extra few weeks to make an informed, intelligent decision. Granted, at best, it's a crap shoot...so much of it will be what you yourself make of it.

    But PLEASE...take heed of the advice given in this thread, and reconsider CRE. We all wish you the very best!

    (OH, and if you change your mind and you want another daughter to raise, I've got a DANDY one for you that I'm trying to unload!!:biggrin_25523:)
