cali is the one i don't trust the most. i've heard you can get inspected just for having dirt on the caps on tankers. don't be driving the 5 with dirty caps. -
The speed for me is not that big of an issue. Just set the speed for 62 in the high desert and 58 in the more urban areas and the CHP won't even know you are there.

I just did a 16 wide 110 long load to San Diego from Phoenix. I saw AZDOT "enforcement" vehicles all over Arizona. NOT ONE CHP in California the whole way there and back (including Winterhaven). As soon as I crossed back into AZ on my way home, AZDOT was everywhere.

Yup in 25 years trucking...I have more fingers on my hands then times I've been inspected by the DOT. I told this to the head lady at a company I used to work for when she was trying to terrify everyone about the coming CSA and she said that I needed to stop and ask to have my truck inspected more often....I was like, are you nuts lady?
'olhand Thanks this.
