    Ok from start (pulling over) to finish (putting truck in gear) it took 9 mins. I didn't put on my snow suit or dig out the warm gloves. Just standard Mercer coat. I could have done it gloveless it was so easy. Well worth it.

    Well after all you've been through to get squared away I hope things will be worth it for you. After pulling a van here for about 8 months, I'll say things are really going to need to go extremely good for you. Talk to every van driver you can and the filter out what you find to be true, and please study the boards, all different areas to decipher good and bad areas. The learning curve here is steep with no brakes. Good luck.

    CJ just a word of caution on the snow socks, dont run them too far on bare pavement or you will start getting holes in quickly. I ran them twice in nevada on emmigrant pass for about 15 miles maybe and i'm starting to get holes in mine. If you are on snow the whole way you will be fine, I have started to carry my chains again but it sucks putting them on my singles

    It's a trailer that raps. It's a 50' long step. Ten feet up forty feet down.

    CJ, do you try to put your socks back in the plastic bag they came in? I never could get to fold like when they came out. So I was walking through wally world and spied some 48" garment bags and thought hmm, I could just lay the socks in the bag and then fold them in half and still fit in my passenger side box. I can fit 2 singles and one regular one in each bag. Although they wont dry while they are in the bag, so Sometime after I get back out and hang on my mirrors and let them dry.
