Thankfully I managed to find another commuter car (2002 Ford Focus 5 speed) for like 800 bucks!!! Just needed a clutch which I did myself. So once the trailer is loaded and ready, I can hitch the truck to it the night before and have it ready and waiting for our departure!! And due to my job I will either be at my remote site that day 40 minutes from home, or work from home that day. Either way it ensures I can get home by 5, have dinner and be ready to hit the road before 7. I don't want to hit the road any later then 7, but I am not rushing out the door either since around 6pm rush hour dies down in the outer reaches and by the time I get to warrenton it will also have cleared up a lot and by the time we get to I95 it will be long after rush.
