Santa Fe Springs/La Mirada

Hi all current, prior, and future WS employees:

I thought I'd start a thread for the SFS/La Mirada shop and terminal. This could be a place for drivers based there to hang out, or just gripe and moan about California....LOL

 

That it does my friend....it's worse on the way home as we've been going faster for weeks and weeks, and suddenly a couple hundred miles from home, forced to s-l-o-w down....and think we're never gonna get there!

 

yeah, they say they won't pull you over in the Southern CA area doing 65 out on the interstates, but as cash strapped as our state is, I wouldn't take the chance...I do 55"ish"

 

I have a load from Miller as well...mine was in the "side yard", they had just moved it. Easiest Miller load ever. Broke their seal, got the paperwork, resealed with a WS one and on my way...did stop on that little street they are on and slid my tandems tho...even with the pins correctly set for CA, I was 2k+ pounds over on my drives, and only at 30k on the trailer tandems...I moved the pins up 6 holes and it's fine now....the trailer corners great now, acts like a shorter one, although have to watch the tail swing...

If Miller there in Irwindale goes that good all the time it won't bother me at all. I picked up at Miller in Ft. Worth and man, they almost want your DNA to even get IN with an empty....then you scale out and they won't even tell you what you weigh!

 

No, the side yard is outside of the actual gate, so I would have had to go back in, use the entrance scale, I guess, then turn around and go back out. The guard was really nice, I suppose he would have let me if I had asked...anyways, it's all good. I spent the night at a TS 3 miles from my delivery and just waiting to leave now. Suppose I'll come back here and do my empty/avail macro and wait it out....
