California Port Of Entry Lady Actually Read My BOL!

Things must be getting bad for ol' CA. 

Usually, when you go to Cali and throught the POE, the people there just glance at your BOL and wave you on through.  Since I'm flatbed, they don't ask what I'm carrying because, well, it's pretty self-evident.  If it's a bit square load that is tarped, that's plywood.  If it's steel and untarped, it's pretty clear what I'm hauling.

Welp, the other day, the lady came out of her little box and read my BOL, from top to bottom!!  Then, looking at my tarped, square load, wanted to know what I was hauling.   Hello??  Plywood!! 

Honestly, I was so flabberghasted I couldn't really think of anything to say.  This just doesn't happen.  Well, I guess it does because it happened to me, but, really?? 

Was she hoping to trip me up or maybe thinking I've the wrong BOL or load and she could issue a citation or something??

Just tres weird...but, hell, it's California...

Dipstick Driver Of The Day

The other day, in New Mexico, there was a lady driving a Uhaul, towing a car, who was doing her damndest to run trucks off the road. She was running about 70-73 mph and seemed totally oblivious to what havoc she was leaving in her wake.

She did her level best to take my left front quarter panel off my tractor. I caught up with her and she was one of those drivers who are oblivious to anything or anyone else on the road. I don't think she remembered she was towing a car because she would barely pass and then whip back over.

I watched her almost run a US Express off the road. I warned people over the CB to watch out for her. She was going to get herself ot someone else killed!!
