I haul packaging down to Yuma, they are light loads, But from Yuma to Salinas I am usually close to 80,000lbs. I am usually good on all my axles.

i just went through salinas. most of the area is 55 speed limit. there are parts where it changes to 65. i wouldnt log the trip at 55, d.o.t. would frown on that, given the terrain and everything. lots of stop lights, turns, small towns which have speed limit of 35. dont sound logical to me. idn

Not for TRUCKS it ain't! ALL of Californica is 55 mph (MAX) for trucks! Better know the laws before you turn the wheels!

Just sayin'
