    We're based in California We run mostly intrastate but also go to Oregon and Washington if the money is right.
    We might head over to Idaho or Nevada occasionally on OD sruff but that's it. Again, the money has to be right.
    LOL...we sent three trucks bob-tail to Raleigh North Carolina last month to bring back some trailers we bought. I don't know if those guys will ever get over the culture shock.

    Government never goes away , just morphes into other things. A bennifit to working for big companies is you get pulled in far less. What are weigh stations ??? Things small companies have to stop at.

    When i was living in California about 5 years ago they were just building that new coop on the i15 at cali nevada border..... leave it to cali to waste $$$ on things no one needs. If it wasnt so off the charts stupid i would make a joke about a high speed bullet train California would build LOL !!! But that of coarse would be to dumb to even think about ....
