Re: sizing request - help!

Let's see...
Will you be transporting all 40 concurrently or just 2 or 3 at a time? Will you be reaching most inclines during peak business hours? You'll need a backup copy of the map in case your driver media fails..and lastly, Bill Gates claims he has a blue bus that seats 1000 , can get you there in half the time and can be driven by any moron by clicking on the steering wheel..

Does this help?

Cheers,

Steve
