    2. Any out of town repair shop
    3. Any grocery warehouse
    4. Any warehouse using lumpers

    I think this is all dependent on where people are from. I see a lot of hate for California which I get, but I’m from there and know all the spots to park and where to go and where not to. I’d rather drive in California any day over anywhere back east. But I don’t know that area super well.

    Agreed with California. Lots of hyperbole in regard to California. What sets truckers off in regard to California is the 55MPH Truck Speed limit. Then it takes a life of its own with things like the Banning Coops. To be honest I had more trouble in states like Florida and Illinois than I ever did in California. Today if I were still driving I would MUCH prefer a trip to Southern California than say Arkansas, or (sorry @MACK E-6 ) Maryland!

    last time I was down there TQL was spamming Tampa to Charleston loads left and right, $400 on 435 miles and they were 45k loads of Pepsi. May as well be running empty at that point

    Running empty would be better. Cost u less when u consider the time factor of picking up and delivering. That is ridiculous anybody would take that cheap of a load
