    I have picked up there twice. Once ringots to.San Diego. 2nd time a bunch of compact scrap to.Idaho. the scrap tears your tarps up. I hate loading there. Last time me and 3 other Melton drivers had to spend the night bc we had not enough hours to her out of Oakland during rush hour.

    I believe it. I was the only truck there and it still took 3 hrs to load. I was lucky and still had a lot of time on my clock. I was trying to make it to the rest stop on x 60 on I5 but construction and a broke down truck on the grapevine killed me.

    So I was informed by my instructor today that I will likely be testing August 1st insted of July 25th. I'm not happy, but it's all on the State. They don't want to send an examiner over here. Screw us, i guess.

    Anyway, if it ends up I test on the 1st i'll be down for the class starting the 4th.
