    Yes, that's what I see in this package, clever instructions and all can be done in a small space. Thanks.

    Yes ma'am! That's all good news above, I had not gotten that picture yet and was hoping we didn't have to STAND in line with our paperwork or some darn thing.

    I usually hope it's only 4 hours, then I begin to wonder why I ever wanted to drive a truck.

    There's going to be many times you'll have stand in line waiting for paperwork or whatever.Lumpers can take forever before they wait on you.The hurry up and wait game is something you get use to.
