Hey folks,
Looking at a new employer and they run BC to California ... I know California is a nightmare and so wondering if it is even worth the heachache?
Thoughts?
Cheers

.. into the bowl, not past it, meaning stay out of LA.
I dropped in Compton once, what an experience that was.
Also 2 days to drive in, and 3 days to get out of that swamp. -

Compton was surprisingly chill, but defo stressful when you see all that's happening around. -

Did a drop in W. central LA last week. Timing was good. Got to location about 8PM and there was parking on site, Appointment was for 8 the next morning. Unloaded and pulled onto the street at 8.55.
Headed to pick up return load. Traffic was moderate or about average for LA after the early rush.
So for me it's how it all works out with time of day and parking. Some good and some worse trips.
I also personally dislike Vancouver. Have had some stressful trips in there with multiple picks in the inner city. Unfortunately, some of this city crap goes with the territory. -
Ol'Shusquatch Thanks this.

Everything in any major urban city needs to go exactly right. If by chance any element fails then you can be stuck there for a bit.
I did Green St. downtown San Fran once too. You need to download a special truck route map and follow it intently. One wrong turn and you're stuck on a hump calling a tow. All that makes for fun truckin', however stressful. Once again, proper prep necessary.Ol'Shusquatch Thanks this. -
Being from the paper map generation, I pack a Randy Mcnalley atlas to consult and jot down what looks good on a small note pad, to refer to while running. We have more tools to use nowadays along with the ols chatter coming from the cb. -
BigHossVolvo Thanks this.
