California, Shmalifornia!

i've yet to have a problem with all 3 states. but i hate going there just the same. with the slower speed and there smile for the camera crap.

cali is the one i don't trust the most.

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.

 

run up around the bay area and find out how many scales are around there and they are building a brand new super coop with enclosed bays looked to be about seven bays going east on 80 by cordelia. i have been thru atleast four scales in 250 miles in bay area alone. and thats just going in and down to salinas. I have had level ones in both wash and oregon and cali and would rather take a level 1 in wash or oregon before a cali and that guy in the eastbound st. goerge scale can be a stickler on brakes tried saying my brakes on trailer where bad the same week after banning did lvl 1 on me and passed me and gave me a sticker said he didnt care about that wrote me up for trl brakes 1/16 out of adjustment.

 

I would rather deal with AZDOT than CHP any day. But I have been dispatching for about 33 years, I only drove for about 5 years. So you think AZ is that bad? My drivers here don't complain much about them.

 

TWICE in your lifetime? What color is your truck? I need to buy some of them! lol

 

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?
