11 West claims are BS!

Truth. It's almost like on my side of the country. Northeast regional is going to most times mean New Jersey at least every other day.

 

I don't like many laws and rules of Cali. You mentioned they are socialistic and i agree with you. I also understand that many of Californians like it. I don't hate California but i know one beautiful day i will move out..

 

Hauling food grade liquids has been good for me. I sure heck don't miss dealing with grocery distribution centers or those @#$!! lumpers when I pulled dry vans.

But for some strange reason, I do kinda miss repairing those door securement chains.

 

Running the 11 western states and making money isn't really possible for a lot of companies without going into California sometimes. Since I live there, I enjoy it because it's where the high paying freight is, and I'm not chaining up to get there. I'm nearing the end of being out for almost 2 weeks outside of California, and you can have this snow and cold crap. Spent 3 hours on a closed highway in Idaho yesterday because of a 10 car pileup on slick roads including two semi trucks. A minute or two ahead of my schedule and I would have been in it. Be glad to get home and when spring gets here.

 

I can't decide which I hated worse.

The mountains or the humidity

 

I just moved to Tucson from the bay area. The best decision I've made in ages. It's funny how the locals here complain about traffic. And 600 for a one bedroom apartment puts a smile on my face every day.

 

If u want to run western 11 get ur own truck and u will find there is not much freight out there other than wat comes out of california. Trucking companies are in it to make money

 

Man the 4x4 combo makes California worth the trip! Cant forget Del Taco either but you know, I saw a Del Taco in Atlanta not long ago
