    Only 50?!? And you wonder if that's too old? Well, no worries, kid. I'm pushing 66 and have the same questions! 😊

    Valley is a VERY reputable company, with good equipment. My ex used to work for them. Speak to J. Hoover if you decide to go this route.

    Hehehehe.... good one, driver. Nope, it's Jim Hoover; he's been around for a few many years; yet one of the best guys we've ever met. Well-maintained fleet and a #### good guy.
