    What does this even say? I could have swore you needed to speak English to get your CDL.

    I'm not a trucker, but I dislike California because of the smaller, less political things. :biggrin_2557:

    • Brush fires
    • Mudslides
    • Earthquakes
    • Merging - Few people seem to know how to do this. :biggrin_25510:
    • Alfalfa sprouts and mayonaisse on burgers - The only green I want to see on my burger is a pickle slice and/or a leaf or two of iceberg lettuce.
    • Fish Tacos - This is just wrong. Fish should be either breaded or battered and deep fried. It doesn't belong in a taco, soft or crunchy. :biggrin_25513:

    split SPEED LIMITS ARE A PROBLEM NOT ONLY IN CALIFORNIA BUT ANYWHERE........ WHY DO U THINK TEXAS DID AWAY WITH THE SPLIT SPEED LIMITS ......... THEY RECOGNIZED WHAT EVERYONE ELSE KNOWS THAT CARS AND TRUCKS NEED TO GO THE SAME SPEED FOR SAFETY ON THE ROADS ..... YOU HAVE LESS CARS TRYING TO PASS BIG TRUCKS WHICH EQUALS LESS ACCIDENTS ESPECIALLY WITH IMPATIENT TEENAGERS IN AN HURRY FOR WHAT EVER THEY DEEMED WAS WORTH DYING FOR.... OR THE DUMB ### THAT GOT UP TOO LATE.... OR THE PERSON WHO JUST GOTTA BEAT THAT BIG RIG BECAUSE HE MIGHT GET THERE 2 MINUTES FASTER.... OK ,OK,OK. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THOSE DUMB ###ES BUT THE ACCIDENT REPORTS WENT WAY DOWN AFTER THEY DID CHANGE THE LAWS... NOW SOME INDIVIDUAL COUNTIES ON COUNTY ROADS STILL HAVE THE SPLIT SPEEDS BUT THEY ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN... AND LETS FACE IT THEY ARE PODUNK COUNTIES THAT NEED THE REVENUE. SO STAY AWAY.... AND THATS MY ADVICE FOR CALIFORNIA, OHIO, ARKANSAS, ETC., ETC., INSERT YOUR FAVORITE SPLIT SPEED STATE HERE..... ITS NOT SAFETY ITS REVENUE...... AND YES ALOT OF POLICE, STATE TROOPERS WILL AGREE WITH ME AND WILL NOT PULL OVER ONE OF US UNLESS ONE OF US ARE DOING SOMETHING STUPID.... BUT THERE IS ALWAYS THOSE ROOKIES OR THE GUY WHO GOT HIS TOAST BURNT WHO HAS AN HARD ON FOR YA AND THERE IS THAT PRECIOUS STATE LAW JUST AT HIS REACH .

    WCP, have you not figured out yet that GAP is Georgia liberal, NOT a California liberal?? There is a HUGE difference between the two!

    I've driven by the concord scales a million times, it is barely ever open. Most trucks will throw their 4-ways on when they dip below 40mph in the mountains, never seen anyone pulled over for that. Well, as for me I am headed up to South Lake Tahoe after I take my shower, going to be pulling a boat back to Sac for a customer. Tomorrow I'm going to North Lake Tahoe to deliver a new boat, then I'll bring another boat back. See y'all on the flipside. =)

    Here's a bit of triiva Calif had the 6th largest economy in the world before the state went bankurpt. The bad thing is many believe the boon would last forever. Also Calif. has implemented some really stupid laws and raised taxes to the point that drove businesses away and New York State is doing the same thing. The Farmers in Calif are taking a big hit because the enviromentalists have stop them form getting water they need for their crops due to a fish to small to use even as bait.

    California was once the "land of opportunity and prosperity".....

    Liberals like Pat Brown, his son Jerry to Rose Bird started the "death knell".....
    In addition we had Caesar Chavez (UFW founder) burning fields back in the 60's and 70's.....MeCha and La Raza all separate yet acted together to conspire the end of prosperity in order to make life "fair"....

    CA had the best road system in the world art one time...a quick run of the 5 or the 99 will tell you otherwise....At this point...even Mexico has better roads than CA...

    Besides....all this really is, is just a return back to what CA looked under Mexican rule......a sheyat hole.....

    Today is CA's Admission Day and since that first Admission Day in 1850, liberals and Mexicans alike have fought to return CA back to Mexico.....

    At this point they may have it back...it's not worth sheyat any more....
    Liberals have completely foxtroted-up the state.....

    CHP and signage on roads like CA-178 north of CA-99. Got stuck out on 178 after it became unsafe for a 53' to be on...because the sign that said it was "not advised" was way beyond any oppurtunity to turn around. CHP threw a BF because i didnt turn around. There was nowhere to. Talk about entrapment. The route is not listed as restricted in my atlas, but its not listed as designated either. I'll be watching for the pink highlights in the map more closely now.... Oh, and NOT ADVISED? The hell? It should say, not going to happen.
