    Getting in and out of the port on monday is gonna eat up your day. And yes, like Brandt said, you can Idle in Cali with emissions truck if the cali idle sticker ain't missing. So no, you wont be able to do it. And the only place to do your 10 is in the 'Bad part of town', lol

    For sure. That whole area is a place you dont want to be. Homeless, gangs, and they just let a whole bunch of criminals out of jail in Cali due to corona virus, and now they are on the prowl. On top of that no major truck stops near that port. Bring food and update your life insurance if you go.

    And......Bring a stack of one dollar bills to give to the homeless who will be banging on your door all night long, and pooping under your rig.

    Good luck finding a scale. They have some in the area but can be hard to find. And on the way in and out its a cluster #### of weigh stations and even a new huge $50 million super duper coop. There are about 6 weigh stations within 50 miles of the area.
