Well thats experience talking..I mean thats what heard.And the veins on the back of the her...his hands should of been a give away, or the adams apple that I didnt see,but when she ..umm,he had a voice deeper than mine the door should of never been opened..but the dress was really misleading and once you have her...him in the truck and 10 dollars in your hand...who would want to opt out at that point ?

    ShortBusKid Thanks this.
  4. Even after kingsburg remodeled the Pickle park. No one who's worth there experience in driving stops there over night.

    To the OP.

    Take your time, keep under 62mph and enjoy the warm weather.

    Thanks guys, I appreciate the input. Keeping all the suggestions save so I can check them out when I get out there. Seeing the routes you suggest will make more sense once I see them. I have heard they are strict on speed. Guess like everything, I will learn from what mistakes I make. One of the other guys from my company had a lot of the same suggestions. Again, I appreciate your help.

    Take the 40 all the way to Barstow, then the 58 to Bakersfield, then the 5 , then stay left for the 580 follow that until you reach the 680 around Dublin, take 680 all the way to San Jose.

    Born and raised in CA. Lived in San Jose, Gilroy and Santa Nella before. I would take 10 to 210 to 5 to 152 to 101. DO NOT get on 85 at any point off of 101 in San Jose. Trucks are prohibited and they will hit you right away. Gilroy scale is open 24/7 but I've had no bad experiences there. If you do take 99 watch out for the Chowchilla scale because they will hammer you.
     
  11. Ya can jump the 152 west off the 99n. Its before the Chowchilla scale. FYI
