    I cruz I-5 for 2 round trips to So Cal. I see a number steel coils heading to Nor Cal. Where are the coils being produced in So Cal. Any "west coast skateboarders" know about this action?

    I used to load coils out of Fontana off Cherry Av just west of the KW dealer and behind Swifts original yard. Can't remember the street name, I think it was Cal steel or something, big operation. Always went to Sacto area. Plus there are others in S.Cal. Wilmington, I think.

    I was interested, they must be going to cannery in nor cal. Lots of petes and shakers real clean. Any ideas on the rates on hauling that stuff?

    Been seeing a lot of that coming up 99 here lately and a lot of cabs heading back south.
