    The pay has more to do with how many people are trying for each job than how much it costs to pay for a house & groceries. Some people are so happy to have nice weather they will work cheap.

    Are you looking to pull dry van, reefer, flatbed, etc? That makes a difference.

    Just talked to another driver at one of my stops in Commerce, he saw I was from AZ and asked me about property taxes. His just increased to over $4K this year, and where I live in Buckeye, my property taxes are about $1,400/year.

    He wants to get out of the LA area.

    Millions of foreigners living in California willing to drive a truck for .24cpm @ 1099 could be part of the problem.

    All the hot women left Cali and moved to Arizona or the east coast. Nobody left in Cali.
