True that....But It's the same for loads to Portland and back as well....
Loads are always cheaper going back to Cali.....

It just really depends on what is going on and where the freight is moving. -
I had some lady call me the other day and wanted me to move a broke down Freightliner feeder truck from Fresno to Phoenix. She said it was possibly over 11' tall, which would have made me over 14' on one of my landolls. I gave her a price of $1975 and she freaked out. She said her step decks were only getting $750 to $1000 a load out of CA. I told her she would not be able to be compliant come January with those rates. She said she wasnt going to haul to CA come January. Good more cheap truckers for the rest of the country

What you should be doing is figuring out how to open your own border transloading business. California will soon become like the Mexican border. CARB trucks will haul to AZ/NV border and loads will be transloaded to the non-carb compliant trucks. Don't believe me... sit back and watch that action.

Imagine Kingman,AZ becoming the center of the CA freight universe? Along with Verdi,NV Jean,NV and Ehrenberg,AZ

Some CO-Cali loads are stopping at Jean...Trailers dropped and then the CARB compliant rigs take them the rest of the way down....
Also I have noticed a lot of old trucks running in past 3 months.....
And some are way old....Like 80's Shakers.......
Kind of like a last hurrah for the POS rigs before they are sold off to Mexico or the other border states.....
Last Spring....ODOT mentioned in it's newsletter about the "Huge influx of old California Non-compliant trucks flooding our state..."
OR is trying to clean up it's air too....And all of those old Cali rigs aren't gonna help...... -
Some are quite low....I was stuck for a day last year in Denver...So another O/O suggested I DH down to Colorado Springs to Scotts....Then call the "Broker List" posted at Scott's loading dock.....
The O/O said I would get loaded and back on the road in less than a couple hours....
But.......Another O/O told me he fell for that before....Those loads have never been above a $1/m according to him....
Hmmmm....Now why would anyone who is in the biz to make money..."Pay" a shipper to haul their loads?....
I waited one more day and picked up a load from Elward (Panels)...Elward's guys helped tarp the load...And it was all of 20K on the wagon....And it paid $2100......Better than the $1000 that Scott's was paying for load that was 48.5 on the wagon...No? -
Now granted I run a step deck so I live in a bit of a different world, but even at that I rarely found anything leaving Denver worth my time unless it was going north in the middle of winter.
