I spent 41 years driving for UPS, you passed one at the 30 minute mark in this video. As far as "shows", driving around L.A. all those years I saw a lot of crazy stuff. Keep the videos coming, I drove cross country for about 11 yrs of my career, Im sure you have seen the big white UPS sleepers. Im happily retired now but miss hammerin down the highway at times. So your videos are a welcome event.
@@nightrunner1456 not at first, everything is seniority and you have to work your way up to the better routes or runs. I did 12 hour shifts 5 days a week. I worked local doing pickups at big accounts. Ran around the LA basin and all of southern Calif. Then I went cross country for about 11 years. I ran L.A. to Dallas twice a week, or Chicago or Greensboro etc. Then I ran L.A to Vegas and back every night etc. When you first start out you mostly run trailers into the piggy back yards, all night long and that gets boring. Stay safe, I like the videos. Wish I was still out there, but when I really start to miss it I just park by the Interstate and smell some diesel fumes as they go by.
I love watching all we get to see as you are going places I have never seen. I have not traveled much to other states. I live in Idaho born and lived here all my 60 + years. I have really enjoyed riding shotgun with you. Stay safe.
Your videos bring home to us here in the UK,just how huge the USA is, we drive for 6 hours here in England we'd have went from one side of the country to the other and be headed out to sea, and half way to France/Holland or Belgium, plus we simply don't have that awesome scenery . Unfortunately we got no deserts or mountain ranges, got a shed load of old creepy castles and a stone henge thingymajig though. America that im seeing from your truck is absolutely breathtaking, and i must thankyou for sharing it with us, Im just a working class Briton, unlikely to ever get to really see this great country in person, but if i ever win the lottery im gonna come over hire a big billy be frigged RV and bop around for 4-6 weeks , na make it 4-6 months, yeah that's the ticket. I 'd love it, just running around these areas that you're showing us . Hey maybe i'll be one of those bods getting in your way holding you up driving slow ?? Ah well , i'm off to get my lotto ticket then. You keep up the good work geezer :D
It makes you think that if old king George had won that little war called the revolution all this would be yours, but hey, you got Canada, that's a beauty, EH! My auntie Vera was from Liverpool my uncle married her when he was over there during ww2, we've.got a great country here if we can just keep the democrats out of the white house, our founding fathers wouldn't be too happy if thry turned us into a communist socialist nation.
Very thankful for the videos, I've traveled 48 out of the fifty states and your videos rekindle the desire to do it again, thank you for your talents and journeys
Thanks for the glimpse of home. Been a few years since i’ve been back. Wishing I’d seen you roll through Red Bluff, Cottonwood, Anderson, and Redding too. Safe travels Brother..
The story of that lady reminds me of a time long ago. I was driving with my husband on the highway late one night and this semi came up beside us. My husband turned on the interior light and proceeded to pull down his shirt, showing some shoulder. He had long hair and a fair face. The guy in the truck smiled at him. We had a good laugh with that one. Mostly because we weren't sure if the trucker thought he WAS a woman or a man! Fun times back then.
Thank you so much for sharing your trips across the country it is awesome no other way could I have gotten to see the many states you travel what a perfect way to be a blessing to our great Nation so beautiful you are an American HERO
Thank you for your video, I drove the I-5 for many years and the part you went through was heart breaking to see. Fire is an awful thing, so much devastation.
I just discovered your channel! I love to travel but I have mobility issues now. So watching your channel is kinda like riding shotgun with you. Thank you for the experience. Traveling grace
Hi i sit here many hrs looking at ya video's. I am now in my 80s so this for me is great as i was a trucker most of my life.Trucking in Europe from the uk .Man love listen to ya chatter great keep it up ya doing some great video.
HI iam a Retired Truck Driver .And iam in Arkansas living in my home state,My first long Haul job was driveing back and forth between California and Washington.So i do remember those Roads.Thinks for the ride along.Phil Jones AKA on CB 19 The Millcreek Kid in Arkadelphia,AR.
I’ve been on I-5 in CA going north. When you see Shasta in the distance, then BOOM, it’s right in front of you! The most beautiful mountain I’ve ever seen!!
"That river" is the upper Sacramento. When the water goes down to fishable levels, there are some seriously large fish in there. They can be very picky and respond best to whatever fly is hatching.
Mike I have enjoyed riding Shotgun, This is how I travel over the net , live feeds and shows like yours , I will look forward to the next trip if you have room in the truck, I will need to get off at the next truck stop but would love to ride again . The digital HOBO :-))
Waneta, Shotgun is right, definitely best time to take that trip is in Spring/early Summer. In the Been There Done That Dept. I can also testify there are 3 seasons in that part of the world, snow, green and brown. Criss crossing mountain ranges too. Pretty drive but stay alert. Uuuuuuup hill and doooooowwn dale and curves watch out, occasionally people have lost their brakes. That's why they have those safety ramps oof side right on the down slopes and signs saying brake check area. Some of the rest areas in the Summer on I 5 they serve courtesy coffee and snacks, usually some group volunteers like a church, Rotary Club whatever. Mt Shasta area if you can, linger and explore. Dunsmiur is a cute little railroad town that makes a scenic last stop in NorCal, Shasta City stop at the Piedmont Italian Restaurant or this new Chinese place for Dinner. I used to live in McCloud, McCloud High School, all my teachers down there were great. The only zombie of all of them was oddly enough was the drama instructor. Hold off if you can until Medford and eat at Witham's Truck Stop. You often get more professional friendly service there. Grants Pass has some more good eateries. Easy on and off highway access too. Overnight? Generally Ashland or Grants Pass, Eugene considering smaller places. Haven't been to Cottage Grove or Roseburg for a long time, used to be nothing to write home about. Years ago stopped some place in Roseburg and god, they were rude! Almost half of the menu items were out and the person taking my order, finally Not, kept interrupting me with the traditional "Sorry we can't help you" routine before I finished a sentence. A couple other customers were getting the same treatment. All three of us decided to stop a little bit north for a bit more brain power and real service. Hope the people down there have gotten more mature since then. Down around those parts, there is the Umpqua River, Diamond Lake, and Crater Lake. From late Summer on some places turn brown and dry on the I 5 corridor. Always had to check for fire restrictions of course. From below Portland up to Puget Sound area it generally stays green because staying more westerly in the mountains. SoCal and So Oregon drier because I 5 goes leeward from the mountain ranges. C'mon out and enjoy the trip when you get the chance. Many truckers and tourists enjoy this route and coast or desert can be easily reached on the horizontal highways. Get out your Navigator function and check out places and attraction. Bon voyage to You and Yours.
It's good to hear there are still enough bugs to mess up your window. I'm sorry it's such a mess. My dad and I drove through Texas south on 35 and the bugs were like a hailstorm. That was 1966.
The countryside is so beautiful on all of your videos. And then we get to the area of past forest fires. We read about these things, see them on the computer on news stories, but riding along with you and seeing them up close really shows the devastation. It's really sad to see. However, on these videos, guess we have to realize that not all is pretty in the country.
8hr sleeper resets the 14hr clock to where it was upon entering the sleeper, meaning that whatever hours are picked up on the 70hr clock at midnight are indeed usable, but only up to whatever remains on the "frozen" 14hr clock. That extra 2 hours only serves to reset your 11hr and 14hr clocks
That would be a big Negative there good buddy. You can try to do that 8hr sleeper crap but you better still have 2hrs off duty some place you try to run after 8hrs in the sleeper they will hang you at the scales quicker than a side of beef
@@dons8122 Hey, now. I never said not to bother with the 2 hours, thank you very much. In fact, I seem to recall mentioning precisely WHY that extra 2 hours is necessary. That being said, my original comment is outdated and no longer accurate, what with the new 7/3 rule replacing the old 8/2 rule. Now that both breaks stop the clock, it really doesn't matter what order you take them in, whereas I always used to advocate for taking the 2 hr and THEN the 8 hr for the simple fact that the 8 stopped your 14 while the 2 didn't. E: BTW, I didn't just "try" to pull off my 8/2 splits... I successfully managed them about once a week for just over a year and a half, with my logs standing up to scrutiny from LEOs every single time they got inspected. I think I know what I'm talking about, good buddy
32 years ago around ..spot at 10:18 on this video // I change a tire on my PU on right shoulder on left back tire on road size..Trucks and car zooming by me few feet or less away..crazy ..
I love watching your videos. i was raised in Northern CA, loved the state geographically but left because I couldn't stand the government. I now live in the midwest and life is better than ever. Keep it up!
Northern is a direction and not a pronoun. There is no town called northern California. Both directions northern and southern California are lower case.
Was heading east on the 401 just past the 1000 Islands Bridge between Canada and the US heading up to Ottawa. It was summer so pretty warm out. A Ford Mustang convertible was slowly passing me and the fellows female companion had her head in the fellows lap. Now, to keep it family friendly, let's just say that she was not having a nap. 😂 Had some female flashers, ala Mardi Gras style, over the years as well. Man I miss those trucking days sometimes. 😁
Love the video I used to live in and work in Redding CA years ago before I moved to Los Angeles. Thanks for reminding me how beautiful that area really is. BTW your a very good professional driver, thanks for the video. Be safe.
Greetings distant neighbors Michael Kane, You and Yours. Had some delicious breakfast across the street from the motel I stayed at when I stopped at Grants Pass. Dang. Can't remember it's name..somehow I couldn't talk straight or something and the waitress and I had a good giggle. Need more starter fluid. She knew EXACTLY what I meant.
Astonishing to see the Redding area green. By the time I head down that way, it's all brown and gold and HOT. I have a half-acre lot on the Sacramento river in Dunsmuir. As I understand it, it's catch and release there only. There's a noted fly-fishing shop there as well.
The "Did she just do what I Think......" question is asked at about the 27 min mark, and no, it not a porn channel so don't expect too awfully much :-)
That is a beautiful run I love the view of Mt. Shasta I have driven it before and yes Mt. Rainier is the largest on the cascade range you are correct good buddy👍 I like the I-5 drive better then I-90 down to I-84 then to I-15 into Utah 😁
You passed a truck in the left lane-in a construction area that is clearly marked "Trucks right lane only". (35:32) Friend of mine got away with a warning there last week. Officer told him they are patrolling the area more while there is construction.
How'd I land here.... lol, don't have a clue but it was a relaxing ride for me...... In your Title I kinda thought you had a Road Rage incident but thankfully it was just a beaver dam. TY for the smooth safe trip. peace
I agree I don't care for California politics but I do know this stretch of road well and the farther north and California you get the prettier it is I don't get out much anymore so watching these videos is like taking a trip thank you so much for traveling. Sad all the burned hills. I lived in Washington for a while and Mount Rainier filled up my front bay window of the house it was. beautiful.
Pretty view! Thanks for pointing out the highlights & giving some of us an idea of a trucker’s job. Thanks to all keeping our goods rolling. Stay safe.
Thank you for the great vista of Mt. Shasta. I spent 8 days in Cali in March, but didn't get to Mt. Shasta. I see what I missed. Did that town sign say Weed?
I used to live in Weed. I kinda miss it. Owned a nice little house there; I kinda miss that, too. I miss driving truck, but would not enjoy the ELD situation these days. Oh yes, I've seen a few shows in my day.
You can get a multi state fishing license their a few ways you can doit if you bout a fishing license in ca you can add any state to that and its cheaper if you add than buy it by the state or you can add the 48 states
The red truck is 'drafting'. The truck in front breaks the air and the flow goes over both. He is saving fuel but that is very tricky if the first truck has to stop or slow quickly. The second truck might panic or run into the other. Done in race cars.
Martin Eastburn, For sure, For sure, I agree, fine for racing, not for highways. I just drive nice 4 wheelers and have had occasional "Klingons". Nervous making...wr have all had our pet names for them, Klingons, morons, crispy critters...
FYI if you want a faster and better fuel mileage route when going through north Cal through Oregon to Washington Take the hwy 97 from weed up to hwy 58 in Oregon you have less Hills to climb less traffic. I've picked up my best times going that way gaining as much as 30mins and mileage wise you add 3miles if i remember right you also have 3 truck stops along the way Pilot in K falls, a Indian rez one about half hour up the road if i remember right and a pilot in Chemult Just a thought to any of you other drivers that can stray away from your routes.
Is it truck or company that has the proximity beeper that’s heard in the video now and again? Thanks.Brought a Mercedes/ Chrysler diesel van from El Paso to Waterbury, Vt a few weeks ago. Fun.
unless you have a short trailer or a Log truck it is not a challenge you want. I've seen plenty of drivers that took that exit before that sign was put up have to back up the off ramp to get out. I know your kidding ( i hope) but just keeping it real.
In Oregon, an annual fishing lcense for nonresidents is expensive, but you can get a one-day license when you are in the state and just have time for a day of fishing. Getting caught fishing without a license wil be expensive and a lot of trouble.
you get your 11hrs back after you take you 10 off. You do not get your hours back right after midnight unless your 10hrs was up before or right at midnight. I use to play one hell of a Log Book game with the DOT's on the west coast. The part that sucked was that Oregon and Washington Weigh in Motion scales talk to one another and those Cameras are on 24/7 and they read your plates. Only time in 20 years of driving i got caught with a bad log page was when i ran my last 4th of July run i forgot to put what time i was off duty and winged it after 3 days off. and got caught in Oregon in P.O.E NB.
trucking has become so over-regulated I am glad to be retired from it. I miss the traveling and the scenery, but do not miss the road piracy and the idiots.
When Steelhead come back from the ocean *they Taste Mighty Fine.* Ever eat *farmed fish??* I had some ONCE. After eating wild Salmon twice a month for 10yr *farmed fish HAVE NO TASTE. It's just bland pink mush..*
do you know if Mount Shasta is a vulcano? On Googlr Earth it looks like it. Wow, how beautiful. I can't believe how different Oregon looks to California and all within a few miles.
"How often does Mount Shasta erupt? On average, Mount Shasta has erupted at least once every 800 years during the last 10,000 years, and about once every 600 years during the last 4,500 years. The last known eruption occurred about 200 years ago, possibly in 1786. Eruptions during the last 10,000 years produced lava flows and domes on and around the flanks of Mount Shasta. Pyroclastic flows from summit and flank vents extended as far as 20 km (12.4 mi) from the summit. Most of these eruptions also produced large mudflows, many of which travelled several tens of kilometers from Mount Shasta. Learn more at the website for the USGS California Volcano Observatory."
the answer is yes and it is a Dormant one at that. All the Volcanos along the Cascade Mt Range are Dormant but two. Mount Baker ( not as active as she was 40 years ago) and Mt St Helens which is still some what active
Well..... Glad you saw and checked it out.. I started with winter mtn driving and it morphed into this.. which.... I'm not sure how I got here either . But. Thx for watching.!!!
Just plan on always doing 10 hrs off instead of 8 hours. Gives you better flexibility for your next day. Just like it is always better to take your 34 hrs off if you are getting short on hours and you have to be off for 24 hours anyway. Planning your clocks is just as important as planning your route and the times you will be rolling through major cities. Avoiding rush hour traffic can save a couple of hour per day.
101 north is not just slower But also way out of the way and highly restricted to trucks when you are in Northern CA. Now i love the 101 when riding my motorcycle
If you are in sb then you will have whatever is left from your 14 after loging sb for 8hr plus what ever you did not use for your 11. If you drive after 8 sb hrs then you sit offduty or sb for 2 hrs you will get back whatever you used before the 8hr sb

I was born in McCloud on the foot of Mount Shasta. I can remember when I5 was a two lane highway. Those were the good old days.
I’ve been on I-5 in CA going north. When you see Shasta in the distance, then BOOM, it’s right in front of you! The most beautiful mountain I’ve ever seen!!
This looks like your new truck -- those scars on the windscreen are missing and the gear change-downs sound like an automatic box. Happy Driving!
Thanks for the first hand look at what the fires did.

Now, to keep it family friendly, let's just say that she was not having a nap. 😂 Had some female flashers, ala Mardi Gras style, over the years as well. Man I miss those trucking days sometimes. 😁
Love the video I used to live in and work in Redding CA years ago before I moved to Los Angeles. Thanks for reminding me how beautiful that area really is. BTW your a very good professional driver, thanks for the video. Be safe.
I love Oregon,have family in Oregon.Grants Pass,Medford,Ugene,Roseburg,Salem.
Greetings distant neighbors Michael Kane, You and Yours. Had some delicious breakfast across the street from the motel I stayed at when I stopped at Grants Pass. Dang. Can't remember it's name..somehow I couldn't talk straight or something and the waitress and I had a good giggle. Need more starter fluid. She knew EXACTLY what I meant.
@@barbarawarner1442 Rice hill has a great truck stop with food in it wonderful place
Astonishing to see the Redding area green. By the time I head down that way, it's all brown and gold and HOT. I have a half-acre lot on the Sacramento river in Dunsmuir. As I understand it, it's catch and release there only. There's a noted fly-fishing shop there as well.
Ah Dunsmuir, one of my favorite places. It's the Ted Faye Fly Shop right on Main.
The "Did she just do what I Think......" question is asked at about the 27 min mark, and no, it not a porn channel so don't expect too awfully much :-)
Talking about stickers, remember the " Free Ice Water at Wall Drug" ? Wall, SD
That is a beautiful run I love the view of Mt. Shasta I have driven it before and yes Mt. Rainier is the largest on the cascade range you are correct good buddy👍 I like the I-5 drive better then I-90 down to I-84 then to I-15 into Utah 😁
You passed a truck in the left lane-in a construction area that is clearly marked "Trucks right lane only". (35:32) Friend of mine got away with a warning there last week. Officer told him they are patrolling the area more while there is construction.
How'd I land here.... lol, don't have a clue but it was a relaxing ride for me...... In your Title I kinda thought you had
a Road Rage incident but thankfully it was just a beaver dam. TY for the smooth safe trip. peace
I agree I don't care for California politics but I do know this stretch of road well and the farther north and California you get the prettier it is I don't get out much anymore so watching these videos is like taking a trip thank you so much for traveling. Sad all the burned hills. I lived in Washington for a while and Mount Rainier filled up my front bay window of the house it was. beautiful.
Pretty view! Thanks for pointing out the highlights & giving some of us an idea of a trucker’s job. Thanks to all keeping our goods rolling. Stay safe.
That sleeper birth split has so many variations it boggles the mind
Mike what type of dash cam do are you using I notice you can zoom while is recording that is pretty neet.
That women in the car reminds me of that move Convoy 1978.
Keep rolling super trucker stay safe and be careful out there from Kentucky
Thank you for the great vista of Mt. Shasta. I spent 8 days in Cali in March, but didn't get to Mt. Shasta. I see what I missed. Did that town sign say Weed?
Yeah.. it's weed CA
@@ridingshotgun1251 I want one of their Tee shirts from the Truck stop there. Weed Fire Dept shirts are funny.
My daughter thought about going there to school. My sister immediately screamed- I want that College sweatshirt!
There is not now nor has there ever been a state called Cali. Out-of-staters and idiot teens who think they sound cool say it. It doesn't exist.
Weed California I have to visit 😆
This looks a lot like where I am.... the first thing my late husband showed me was HOW to keep the log books. (hee-hee)
There are ways to keep log books, just saying 😉
I used to live in Weed. I kinda miss it. Owned a nice little house there; I kinda miss that, too. I miss driving truck, but would not enjoy the ELD situation these days.
Oh yes, I've seen a few shows in my day.
You can get a multi state fishing license their a few ways you can doit if you bout a fishing license in ca you can add any state to that and its cheaper if you add than buy it by the state or you can add the 48 states
Thanks for the ride...when you're in Oregon, pick up a $1000 75" high def TV and a new $1500 laptop computer...NO SALES TAX!
The red truck is 'drafting'. The truck in front breaks the air and the flow goes over both. He is saving fuel but that is very tricky if the first truck has to stop or slow quickly. The second truck might panic or run into the other. Done in race cars.
Martin Eastburn, For sure, For sure, I agree, fine for racing, not for highways. I just drive nice 4 wheelers and have had occasional "Klingons". Nervous making...wr have all had our pet names for them, Klingons, morons, crispy critters...
If they are on a hill hes not drafting on purpose hes just keeping his speed up and knows he doesn't have the power to get around
Do you encounter many"LOT LIZZARDS"in your travels?Thanks for the ride,stay safe.🗽🗽🗽👍👍👍
Hopefully Mike doesn't run into those lot lizards in many places but they do exist
reverse thrust ......also known as truck stop hookers
Yes you will have to wait til 10 hours r up to move again
FYI if you want a faster and better fuel mileage route when going through north Cal through Oregon to Washington Take the hwy 97 from weed up to hwy 58 in Oregon you have less Hills to climb less traffic. I've picked up my best times going that way gaining as much as 30mins and mileage wise you add 3miles if i remember right you also have 3 truck stops along the way Pilot in K falls, a Indian rez one about half hour up the road if i remember right and a pilot in Chemult Just a thought to any of you other drivers that can stray away from your routes.
Gotta say, it feels like I’m right there. PEACE!
Is it truck or company that has the proximity beeper that’s heard in the video now and again? Thanks.Brought a Mercedes/ Chrysler diesel van from El Paso to Waterbury, Vt a few weeks ago. Fun.
Built into the trucks. Ordered by the company.
'Trucks not advised' sounds like a challenge to me.
unless you have a short trailer or a Log truck it is not a challenge you want. I've seen plenty of drivers that took that exit before that sign was put up have to back up the off ramp to get out. I know your kidding ( i hope) but just keeping it real.
Immer wieder schön mit dir durch die USA zu reisen!
hi have you been to scall this year sence fires started?
In Oregon, an annual fishing lcense for nonresidents is expensive, but you can get a one-day license when you are in the state and just have time for a day of fishing. Getting caught fishing without a license wil be expensive and a lot of trouble.
You are driving along the South Umpqua River the good fishing is in the north Umpqua, sadly the south is polluted.
Check out those seat covers!!
Did you notice what was missing at that Pilot truck stop? Old Glory.🙁
Its there don't worry.
you get your 11hrs back after you take you 10 off. You do not get your hours back right after midnight unless your 10hrs was up before or right at midnight. I use to play one hell of a Log Book game with the DOT's on the west coast. The part that sucked was that Oregon and Washington Weigh in Motion scales talk to one another and those Cameras are on 24/7 and they read your plates. Only time in 20 years of driving i got caught with a bad log page was when i ran my last 4th of July run i forgot to put what time i was off duty and winged it after 3 days off. and got caught in Oregon in P.O.E NB.
when do you have to stop for the weight station? ty
Usually when you enter a state.. they will have scales who check you and some states share the job between the two..

trucking has become so over-regulated I am glad to be retired from it. I miss the traveling and the scenery, but do not miss the road piracy and the idiots.
What are you using to capture the footage?
Think it was for cars (no parking) used to see trucks parked there all the time
Watching from Wyoming! I know this highway.
When Steelhead come back from the ocean *they Taste Mighty Fine.* Ever eat *farmed fish??* I had some ONCE. After eating wild Salmon twice a month for 10yr *farmed fish HAVE NO TASTE. It's just bland pink mush..*
Dear Mike. On I-5 you are on the west side of the Sierra Nevada and the east side of trinity and siskiyou mt ranges
Thank for ride I joy it
I waited 45 mins. To see what she did. What the fk?
Always use the fast forward first 🤣 or speed up the video then go back and rewatch if you like.
I do not see any gas stations on these highways
That’s an opportunity my dear
do you know if Mount Shasta is a vulcano? On Googlr Earth it looks like it. Wow, how beautiful. I can't believe how different Oregon looks to California and all within a few miles.
"How often does Mount Shasta erupt?
On average, Mount Shasta has erupted at least once every 800 years during the last 10,000 years, and about once every 600 years during the last 4,500 years. The last known eruption occurred about 200 years ago, possibly in 1786.
Eruptions during the last 10,000 years produced lava flows and domes on and around the flanks of Mount Shasta. Pyroclastic flows from summit and flank vents extended as far as 20 km (12.4 mi) from the summit. Most of these eruptions also produced large mudflows, many of which travelled several tens of kilometers from Mount Shasta.
Learn more at the website for the USGS California Volcano Observatory."
@@mircat28 thank you very much.
the answer is yes and it is a Dormant one at that. All the Volcanos along the Cascade Mt Range are Dormant but two. Mount Baker ( not as active as she was 40 years ago) and Mt St Helens which is still some what active
Have ever been caught up in the smoke from a forest fire?
Yeah, I'd just claim that I'm an OTR driver just passing thru, and just thot I'd get some fishin n! 😁
...Not sure why I'm here or what I was looking for
Well..... Glad you saw and checked it out.. I started with winter mtn driving and it morphed into this.. which.... I'm not sure how I got here either . But. Thx for watching.!!!
Like watching your videos very cool
Just plan on always doing 10 hrs off instead of 8 hours. Gives you better flexibility for your next day. Just like it is always better to take your 34 hrs off if you are getting short on hours and you have to be off for 24 hours anyway. Planning your clocks is just as important as planning your route and the times you will be rolling through major cities. Avoiding rush hour traffic can save a couple of hour per day.
LICENSING: WHERE THE GOVT TAKES AWAY YOUR RIGHT TO DO SOMETHING ... AND THEN RENTS IT BACK TO YOU!!
That's the Sacramento river I believe. I used to live in Weed.
LOL I guessed about 50 gallons to do it then I heard ya say 60. I prefer going the 101 north might be slower but less cops
101 north is not just slower But also way out of the way and highly restricted to trucks when you are in Northern CA. Now i love the 101 when riding my motorcycle
Are you in an automatic?
If you are in sb then you will have whatever is left from your 14 after loging sb for 8hr plus what ever you did not use for your 11. If you drive after 8 sb hrs then you sit offduty or sb for 2 hrs you will get back whatever you used before the 8hr sb
