    i run 60 and never been pulled over. most chp fly by. had a few pace me down to 55 but never pulled over. i-5 is rougher than 99. but you're coming from montana,so mostly i-15 you be on. which is pretty nice. 40 ft kingpin to rear axle in cali.

    You can get away with 60 mph. I always waited at Barstow until the scales at cajone closed. Then I'd go on in.
