Recommendations for the San Francisco Bay area

Bay Area rush hours are from 4:30 AM to 10:30 PM Monday to Thursday, Fridays to 1:30 AM Saturday is 7:00 AM to 1:30 AM and Sundays from 12:00 Noon to 9:30PM

That’s not a joke.

 

Yeah, that's the problem in the bay area. Even when it's not rush hour, there is an accident, or construction, or a dead bird on the road that everybody needs to slow down and look at.

 

Ahh, heck, just rent a house in Los Banos and commute! LOL

 

Lived in los Banos for a few years. Back when housing was cheap. Was running a straight truck delivering sheetmetal building supplies. Then it was a 3 hour commute into the South Bay. Lots of miles and fuel on 152 and others.


If you like to eat, in Los Banos is a place called Wool Growers. It is a basque place, food is served family style. If you leave hungry, it’s you own fault. Price is very reasonable.

 

Give a try to the LTL players such as old dominion, estes, saia and oak harbor.

Good luck.

 

Built our first house in Los Banos in 1982 at the Racquet Club. I know all about Los Banos

 

Not super familiar with Contra Costa county, but I rent out my grandmother's old house in Santa Clara county and I can tell you $31/hr is nothing in that area. Basically plan on being a kept man.

 

What you both may “think” is a great job may not be so given very high costs in California. And nothing given in return.

Have an exit plan.

That would be a 30+ year old fixer for that price.
