All I have to say is... the drive is no joke!! The box drove great, cept when it came time to tackle the Rockies. Talk about a sloooow up hill battle. Going down of course, was no prob at all! I had a couple 10 hour days in there, prolly going around 75-80mph during the time through flat lands and farm lands. I just wanted to chew through as many miles as possbile. Usually I drive around 65mph, but not for this trip!

Next time I decide to move 2500 miles, I may put it on a truck.
