Another quick update: [View all]

I'm proud to say that my grand daughter is taking her first load out by herself in preparation of taking over the business, she's picking up a load at the Albertsons distribution center in Phoenix, AZ and taking it to the Albertsons Grocery store in Pahrump, NV, just a short run but it will give her experience in driving alone without grandpa in the passenger seat.
I am so proud of her.
