Trucks banned at new rest stop? I-5 at Ashland.

Of course the rest area would be off limits especially if its under construction

 

Sorry to interrupt the California bashing, but any rest area "north of Ashland on I-5" like this one isn't in our Golden State.

The rest area being discussed is in the state of Oregon, which is a different state than California.

 

When they started construction the signs said no trucks in the rest area, which was strange because they hadn't even really started any sort of construction and everything was coned off with no real exit for it anyway. Now they have signs for cars and trucks, so I doubt they are banning trucks. Either way, there is tons of room a few miles up at the weigh station.

Folks should stop being so terrified of weigh stations.

 

not much....

 

I've developed a strong dislike to both Washington and Oregon. I live in California, and I despise just about everything about this state. But I go up North, see things going the same way as California, and I see the holier than thou attitude that many folks up there get that they aren't California. At least we own the crap hole that we are...

 

If you loved it SO much , why , oh why did you LEAVE ? Like Wilcow says , "if you bring there here, here becomes there" . Guess they never heard "when in Rome, do as Romans do"?

 

I think some people seriously don't comprehend the consequences of certain policies or ideologies. They want the government to feed clothe and house the poor, because it's only right, and they don't see the correlation to higher taxes and the influx of undesirables. They want the government to pay for things by taxing the rich, they don't see the correlation with the loss of businesses in the area, followed by unemployment. So on and so forth. Just a lack of critical thinking.

Others I think just want what's best for themselves. The carrier I work for runs up and down I5, so trucks need to be compliant with California emissions laws. So when Oregon and Washington talk about enacting the same standards as California, I heard our fleet manager talking about how he supports it, because it means we don't have to compete with companies that aren't California compliant who are running freight in the PNW that doesn't involve CA, which we also do.

 

Why would u want to stop there anyway? The Petro is a couple miles away as is a pilot in Central Point
