I traveled through there after picking up a few loads of produce in Yuma.
Sometimes we were running from FL to LA, and would stop. Going west. Other times going from LA to Yuma to load produce.
03 Pete 379 with C-15 550 hp Cat, puling 53' Great Dane reefer with ThermoKing unit. Wife and I had a dedicated route for a number of years, ND and MN to LA, then load produce in Yuma in the winter, and Salinas in the summer. We bought both new.
5500 miles a week, 50 weeks a year.
Still have the truck. Now it is pulling doubles, tankers hauling crude oil from wells to pipelines. 1.55 million miles on it, running good.
