    I live in CA and as far as I'm concerned any of them can get you at any time, which keeps me running legal in CA. Castaic, Needles, Dunsmuir, Cottonwood, Truckee, Cordelia, Santa Nella, Gilroy, Chowchilla, they're all ball busters when they want to be. They do like clean looking trucks and are much more likely to pull in an old rust bucket. But that's probably true everywhere.

    Like most things in life you worry about..
    They never materialize.
    Scales were closed.
    But I do have a shiny new $15 tape measure.

    I'd rather buy a tape measure than get a few hundred dollar fine. You can measure from trailer rear.
