Another quick update:

My Granddaughter has fully taken over the business and renamed it "2 Gals Trucking Co.".

I was hesitant at first at the name change, but the more I thought about it, the more I agreed with it, it's now her business and she has full control.

Peace out,
Daniel.

is important and so very, very hard. We have "letting go" problems here at our casa... so I know how hard these issues can be. I congratulate you on your attitude and think the name is Great! Good luck to your granddaughter; she's very lucky to have a grandpa like you, MCE!
