    Strange... Inside this refer, under the numbers are printed the words "west coast only"

    Never seen that before...
    I bet it's hard to keep them from running east

    Probably means they're carb compliant (California Air Resourse Board) for California. Not all reefer units can legally enter California just as all trucks can't.

    @5speed i was there but im in a mack. Crossed over to 62 as well. Went past the pilot to get there. Of course it started pouring rain once traffic opened up on 62.


    Just slightly....lol. i was gonna say my truck is green and could go there. But i dont think i have the fancy sticker. (Edit: i found that sticker, but we can still swap it at the border lol). Im sure a swap with @chralb could be arranged at the border. Haha.

    Well heres hoping for a one day run i can do in......one day . Lol

    They are supposed to be dropped specifically at one of our East Coast customers so that they can be loaded out with a West Coast run for our West Coast customer to load them back east

    LOL ... not a chance brother! 4 days of LA pinball has me so turned around I sent my ETA in last night, then sent a "corrected" one. When I woke this morning I realized my first one was correct so I sent it again.

    Ohhhh dispatch is laughing at me this morning. LOL

    You take it man. I'm sure you won't have near the problems I did out there.

    Ok, just got my first settlement. All looks good except the cpm. 2 cents less than Rusty told me and we agreed on. Sent a free form to my DM asking him to look into it. Is there anyone else I should talk to about it John?

    EDIT: DM got right back to me via QC saying I am correct and it will be changed. ;)
    Thanks
