So how is Starfleet working out for you now that you've been there a couple of months? :-)
I used to do driveaway for delivering new trucks from the factory to truck dealerships across the nation. We also moved older trucks that were...
If you aren't hauling anything terribly tall most of the time, it might be worth taking off the air fairing on top - possibly save a few pennies...
