CalTrans Staff Augmentation

I spent a year in a CalTrans construction trailer working on I-15 HOV Lanes expansion in their equivalent of a Design Build "fast track" project.  Direct Access Ramps and Drainage was my role.

While I felt the software was a cruel joke (CAiCE), I really enjoyed the people I worked with at the trailer and at my later 6-month stint doing Interchange Drainage Design Studies for the massive I-5 Corridor Widening project.

After our team won the 2006 CalTrans District 11 Volleyball Challenge, there were charges of "Hey, no fair! You guys had a ringer!" Our team's response: "I guarantee that, over the past year, Jeff has had more time in Caltrans offices than you."
