Had to stop on I-15 to be inspected going into California.
What is that?
Uh hickory wood..
You will have to off load that here....
Not a chance.
If you unload it I don't have to do paperwork and you can go on your way
I am traveling directly up I-15 to 95 and out of state back to Colorado. 35 miles or so.
You can not have bark fire wood in the state of California without it having been inspected
Oh I see even though I am not stopping, not going near any hardwood forests, I can not travel on this road with the firewood.
Yes, so will you unload it now so we can move on with life?
What costs the state of California more, me unloading it or you having to do the paperwork to reject me and the contents of my rig?
Going to take an hour to do the paperwork so that would be most expensive for the state and take the most time for you.
OK that is what I want to do
Unload it?
No do the paperwork and cost the state the most money
But it will delay you almost an hour
I got all day to get home, this will be fun
Sir if you just unload the wood you can be on your way
Sir if you would just give me a travel permit to travel through the state on the route I described neither of us will be inconvienced
I can not do that.. we don't allow that type of permit
Then I guess we are stuck doing the paperwork and costing the state as much as possible. Lets get started
You really mean it?
Yes I find when faced with idiotic bureacracy the best method is to ensure the taxpayers get their money wasted in the finest possible manner under the state law.
You know this is not my doing..
Yes I understand that.. you understand how totally stupid this rule is for a transport through the state with no stops?
We are not allowed to give a transport permit
Ok then lets get on with the paperwork of rejecting me officially so we can both do what is in our own best interest, you for the state and me for liberty.
Ok pull over past the white lines and bring you license with you to the office building.
Will do thanks!
SMF folks I want to know how you guys that cross that border deal with this stupid crap?
They made me go around through bullhead city and up through Arizona.
