  2. Per diem case load.

  10. Would this bag work for HHC?

    Jeez it must suck to drive around in snow half the year, I've lived here pretty much all my life and I didn't realize it was that long you guys get asks up north. It must really slow down traffic.
  11. Would this bag work for HHC?

    I live in Florida and we don't have a lot of high rise type places here. Mostly houses and some condos, most with elevators. Does that make a difference? Also, what about the pockets. Would those work?
