    Sounds like a bit of an undertaking! Any idea's on the calendar days... or hours... involved in setting all of that up? Seems like it would be a nightmare!

    That was easy then Nate. Buddy had one that took 6 months. Then a road const.project last minute threw the last 30 miles out the door. Sat 1 week over that.

    I think they've done the route so often it's a peice of cake now. This one had the same problem with construction. Delayed 9 days because of construction in Texas.
