Yeah I know.. that shit cracks me up... it IS like going to another country. I haul can of trash cardboard/newspaper from PHX->LA every day so china can have newspaper or something... and they've searched me twice. But they never look in the cab just the container.

Cali is a strange state.. tho the drivers (crazy tho they are) are polite to trucks and typically let you over when u signal. Now Phoenix drivers.. they try to fit under ur trailer. Morons....

 

When I first started traveling to the left coast in the 1970's we used to have to go through check points in Arizona and New Mexico, I believe. It might have just been crossing from New Mexico into Arizona. Hey, it has been more than 30 years ago. Everyone had to stop, including 4 wheelers. They wanted to know about plants and anything else you might be taking across the border. They had a really bad problem with some sort of fly or bug back then. They didn't want to take any chances that people would take something across the state line which could destroy crops.

 

guess hobo hasn't read those big yellow signs

 

they still do that looking for illegals

 

The reason oranges are allowed from Mexico may be because Mexico has an agreement where they will not import oranges from Asia. Canada imports oranges from Asia, so there is a chance there will be very dangerous(to oranges) bugs on those oranges. That's why Canada is targeted.

 

hey those chinese and japenses mandrin oranges are good! the best 1's are the 1's with a picture of that volcano on them,
