Going to California?

I run flatbed and this is the only area I plan on staying in. Tons of volume out west, but I don't like the rates as much

 

2022 Volvo VNL760. As I said, can't speak to any CA problems driving an older truck around. The Swift fleet rarely has a truck older than 4 years. All the 2017's are gone and they are working on phasing out the 2018's in the fleet. I think it's one of the advantages of driving for Swift. Only time you'll find a truck with more than about 400,000 miles on it, it was used in a team operation.

 

Your 2009 is Commiefornia compliant until the end of 2022. I don’t see CARB enforcing anything since COVID. The scales here in Commiefornia DONT enforced if your not compliant. It’s a hit and miss thing if CARB sets up at any scale. I see NON-COMPLIANT trucks here all day long, there’re cheating the system but registering there trucks low miles which is an exemption. Not only that, I see non compliant trucks from Utah hauling roofing tile back up north. Like already mentioned, Commiefornia will start enforcing(yeah right) the new regulations next year(2023), what they are, who knows, I haven’t been following it up lately cuz I have a compliant truck. It burns my arse when I had to give up a excellent running truck for a Commiefornia compliant truck that sucks up more fuel then my older truck, and that I see all these non compliant getting away with it.

 

Why help the idiots in California ?


They keep gleefully electing democrats who outlaw trucks .

Every trucker should just refuse to go to that communist state .

 

Because the prior years were already banned from entry. The new law added those three years to the ban.

 

I don't live in California I believe it's the most beautiful state in the country but I love Arizona. One thing to keep in mind about California. It is the 5th largest economy in the world. It adds a lot to the US economy.

 

That is a fallacy. Once you remove real estate transactions, they aren't even in the top 10 anymore.

Just having expensive houses shouldn't be rewarded by statistics, but it is.

 

You won't be able to enter ports.
A drayage sticker will not be issued for the truck.
Otherwise you'll probably be fine.

 

The fruits, eh. The cantaloupes, honey dew, clementine, oranges, the berries and the grapes.
The nuts, eh. The pistachios, walnuts, almonds, cashews and hazelnuts.
I probably missed half of them, but you get the idea.
All of those at your fingertip. At fruits and nuts stands roadside.
I must stop drooling. I made a mess on my shirt already.
