I work as a contractor for Fedex and other minor courier companies and drive literally to the boonies to drop their parcels at their distribution points in the interior. This is one of the places I usually stop for lunch wearing shorts and t-shirts at this time of the year. Maybe you should pick the I5 corridor in the future Cheers Joe Blackbart, loaderXI and little_old_man 3 Awards

I would take almost anyplace over where I am now. I'm supposed to be working only the 11 western states and usually the I-5 LA to Seattle but did the Chicago run as a favor and it's coming back to bite me in the ass. My return load to the west was canceled by the shipper yesterday, and then had a mechanical problem with my truck today. Having serious second thoughts about my new career choice right now.

I don't know how things are in the USA but in Canada the trucking industry is polluted with greedy, not always "bright" people who don't give a damn about their drivers or owner operators. There are some notable exceptions I must say, but beginnings are not always rosy. Keep your eyes open and be patient.

I've been there three times (winter, spring, and summer months), and the temperature usually hovers between 80 - 85 degrees Fahrenheit. To someone from Alaska, this would be considered "hot," but the constantly-blowing trade winds in Hawaii keep it cool. I've been to California several times, and some parts are way too hot.

To someone from Alaska, this would be considered "hot," but the constantly-blowing trade winds in Hawaii keep it cool. I've been to California several times, and some parts are way too hot. San Diego was nice, though. Ayaq Yeah been there a few times and the weather is great. I still prefer my little corner of California where it rarely gets above 90 in the summer or freezes in the winter. Summer temps average around 75 with the ocean breezes coming in but far enough inland to avoid the constant ocean fog. Very few bugs and no humidity. Wish I was there right now instead of freezing my ass off here. Edited February 26, 2016 by little_old_man Joe Canadian 1 Awards
