    I just got done running a dedicated Cali route the past 2 years, I love the weather and the women but it's not a big money maker as a company driver because of all the slow downs. Lot of times you feel like a city driver making mileage pay ;)

    Luckily for me, I ran a lot of northern Cal and not a whole lot of L.A. But it's a huge state with a ####ty speed limit and lots of other factors to slow you down as well

    It can take 2.5 hours to get from west to east LA. And traffic can happen 24/7. Drivers are pretty aggressive as are the local truck drivers. Take the 210 when possible.
