Agreed.  We need to go to the German model of apprenticeships...teach the kid how to drive the rig and then pair them up with an experienced driver for a probationary period.  

Presumably there’s a lot of shit to move around within CA itslef.

I love this. So many states/school/districts/ ahve gone all college prep and will not teacher life skills or trades because snowplow parents want good transcripts for the fancy colleges they are bribing their kids into so that is why calculus vs trade.

6'-2" is not slightly above average anywhere in the world. Only 15% of the worlds population is over 6 feet. Most of the world (85% = majority) is UNDER 6 feet.

Mk1 Panda. The new one is just too darn big.

Tell me you’re a childless, urban dwelling, young person without telling me you’re a childless, urban dwelling, young person.
