Funny thing is, they could probably get sandbags to pay to be there, and take themselves on and off without assistance. Well, not sandbags: actually ugly bags of mostly water.

The vibe I got from the job posting is that they would be doing the testing on different LRVs each time. It would also make sense that they would want to test at various load levels as well.

OK, thanks, that makes sense. I thought somebody said that we were getting about 3 deliveries around now (first one of this batch dropped off last week) so combined with the 3 already on property that gets us to 6 which matches the number of dates. I can see sandbag testing as being something they might want to do with each vehicle.
