    I'm so glad they moved the I-80 checkpoint to the east side of Truckee now, no more traffic leaving Tahoe. Also I forgot about the other reason why I don't like going down hwy 50 with a boat, the Inspection Coup is right there just out of South Lake Tahoe and they bring me in every time...I like the drive up 89 and down 80 much more =)

    CHP likes to roam the established parking areas (truck stops, rest areas, etc.) I don't think they monitor Walmarts and other places as much though.

    California has just way too many regulations and the anti idling laws are insane. Plus I still recall the City of Ontario has been trying to boot the two TA truckstops out. Great, where do we park if that happens?

    Stop going there. The problem will solve itself once they realize we hate them more than they hate us.

    Just curious, Has Flying "J" built their new truck stop at Etiwanda and the I-10 yet? Was suppose to be ready in '09, but, that could have changed. Haven't been there in awhile. Ontario city would be stupid to close down those cash cow T/A's at Milliken Av.

    No......The T/A is on borrowed time too....
    Don't get me started on Ontario/Chino truck parking codes.......

    Let's just say both city councils have forgotten the roots of the area...AG/Dairy.... and they all think that products miraculously appear on the grocery store shelves......:biggrin_25526:

    its been awhile since i been to cali but my reasons for hating it are
    1. i got a ticket for getting off a left exit which both my qc and gps directions said to do (company fought the ticket and it was dismissed)
    2. trucks right lanes only
    3. trucks 55 mph and everyone else is running way faster
    4. i got a written warning for being parked at a rest area longer than 2 hours
    5. no idle ever
    6. truck stops charge to park
    7. people in compton shoot at you anytime of day
    8. ship/rec are super unfriendly along with everyone else in la

    now mind you its been 3 years since i was there so it may have changed but since its ca its probably gotten worse
