Sorry Fake News!!!! They were doing safety inspection checks to make sure they can make the trip and fixed problems on the spot! No Emission checks were done!!!!! No water trucks or fire trucks were blocked because of emissions standards!
It is bad enough we will have a POTUS in 8 days that doesn't give a crap about America and the people that live and work here. But the fake news fascist media that promotes his lies and greed is what empowers him. He sided with the ATA. Not drivers. He cares more about the insurance companies than the victims. I can't believe people fell for the Orange Turds bull crap con job again. Shame on the mess.
Exactly!!! I don't like Californias Emissions, but to make a bold statement that the state cares more about emission than the fire that's burning their city is too much
@@MuthaTruckerThey appear to care more about DEI administrative hires than public safety so that emissions narrative sounds plausible. I do know some out of state trucks associated with running fuel for helicopters involved in fire suppression are doggone proud of their older, non cali-compliant (non e-log too) trucks. Were they turned away??
They already had polution. California is a fraud when it comes to getting extra money in general (companies, small businesses, owner operators, average citizens) and etc. A rip off and California is getting away with it.
This whole thing was a lie, it was an inspection of things like tires and brakes, if you knew how decrepit much of this fire equipment is you would want it done too.
@@jackfavaloro5941 Impossible to say for sure but Cal Fire has trucks parked and locked all over the state because the seasonals were laid off months ago and have other jobs/school/whatever. You can't just muster a large firefighting force at the drop of a hat in the middle of winter. Stuff happens.
F CALIFORNIA! This is the product of their failed governing and liberal practices. I say build the wall around California to keep these idiots contained!
That's what I'm hearing as well. There is a strong possiblity of Arson. Please let the investigators do their job once the fires are extinguished, and avoid spreading rumors until we know the facts.
Hello this is Captain Johnson we are on our way to the fires but it's going to take a week to get there... How far are we? 400 miles!!! Why is it going to take so long? Sir it's electric
I've noticed no electric fire trucks are at these fires.....I mean....come on....if they are so great why not show us what they can do during this situation
If the fires were in Ukraine or any other country the US would gladly send all man power to help out, meanwhile the rest of the world is laughing at us because we can’t even come up with water to save ourselves.
@Keekay91 If it is a load going to East Coast. They have to pay more to entice someone, who has the capability & right equipment, time in service, and instance. I pull a 53' step with a w990, meet emission requirements, can pass a level 1 inspection, know the necessary paperwork & procedure for border entry, load or unloaded dictates procedure. I have less hassle going to Mexico & back into the US. Though entry to the US, can be even longer than califruti. If it is in & out the same day. Or they have parking, exit on the second day. Not as bad. Multiple days are too high a risk. Even the one days, as enticing they are, when around $3 a mile or more. The risk outweighs the loot. I have not been back to California for over 2 years. They are under staffed & to many tyrants. That know you will pay the fine, rather than fight it. More expensive to return & defend yourself. I have run loads to califruti that required quarantine. They want pics of your unit & license plates. They enter it into their system. Their cameras track you. If you do not go directly to the designated quarantine place. You get a fine starting at $1,500. Since they do not have those kinds of inspectors at the border. They inspect everything at the drop location. Whether it be a state location, most likely, business being delivered to. Once dropped, the receiving business is on the hooks, for providing the load to be inspected. Need to have the truck & trailer washed at the closest truck was to the border entry point. They can & will turn you back to get a wash It is all about invasive species. Bugs primarily, and certain vegetation, & animals. Either in your load, or on your tractor & trailer. I have all their documents & numbers for details. Every year, they add to the list. Of course, they prey upon the non California trucks, while the California registered pass through.
Hang on one second this is absolutely true. My company is having issues and sending fuel trucks due to the fact that they don’t comply with California emissions.
@@DUDE-ww8cf WRONG the vehicles need parts and repairs before they went to the fires re read the memo from calfire they were held up one day and act like thats not a big deal ITS A HUGE DEAL in a fire like this
I live in California , born and raised and back when I was in school, you could the see the smog over LA and since they changed the Emissions rules, the sky has been clear, so the emission rules are not BS and have helped the air quality drastically.
@ yes I know it’s fake…. When people go “viral” whether it’s real or fake the damage is done because people believe everything thats put out on social media. I’m against this emissions crap.
@@spitflamez I’ve been in SoCal since 1990. I remember that. I’m not disagreeing with emissions progress. However, forcing zero emissions to industries is not feasible without the infrastructure in place to make it happen… I’m in the trucking industry, I run LA to Arizona or Vegas everyday. That’s 500-600 miles hauling 80k pounds 14hours a day. Electric/CNG/Hydrogen don’t have the range to fulfill the job. Now if there were stations abundantly placed it would still not fulfill the needs of making it to appointments on time. Hence cripples supply chains.
@Jenny.Anderson76 wow. That's harsh, critical, and disrespectful. And it's his choice since it's his business. But if you think about it it's California who is dumb because of their nonsense they lose business and money. That's why people are moving away from that state to places like AZ, TX, NM and others. So, who is dumb? Business owners who choose not to put up with bs or California who lose money because of bad choices and examples.
Alex,I have been involed in emergency medical services and a Trucker for several years,all vehicles serving requested by FEMA for a major disaster is suppose to be exempt from DOT inspections.This is really annoys me,because Californians are really suffering from this horrible disaster. During 9/11,we had Fire,EMS and Rescue Assets respond from as far away as Colorado ,Florida,Texas and midwest didnt have any problems getting into NYC. My prayers go out to all Emergency Personnel and the Califonia Citizens effected by this horrible disaster.
SO THERE WERE REPAIRS DONE TO VEHICLES IT SAYS IT RIGHT IN CALFIRE POST " all repairs were completed the same day" they did require something on the emissions, they were held up 1 day whats 1 day mean in a fire like this you tell me?????????
Thousands of acres. Possibly someones life. Tons of carbon released every second from the fires. Including cars and fuel burning straight into the atmosphere without emissions checks. Seems self destructive to deny them entrance. California needs fined for adding to climate change.
The issue is that they were held up. No State can enforce its environmental laws on out-of-state visitors. A State cannot legally prevent you from entering its borders under the U.S. Constitution, as it violates the right to interstate travel protected by the Fourteenth Amendment; essentially, you have the freedom to move freely between states without a state being able to bar your entry.
No. People in top government positions, as we found out recently, are above the law for actions they take while in office, and even before they were in office.
Wouldn't surprise me! Regulations are why the fire is so unstoppable! Every water retention station that was supposed to be built in the last 10 years were stopped by environmentalists
Why doesnt CARB focus on getting the wildfire situation in California stopped because that causes more pollution all over the country then diesel trucks and buses they come down so hard on
I think we the people must stop listening to public servants and do what we do best,HELP ONE ANOTHER. Make a citizens arrest on those blocking help ANYWHERE in this REPUBLIC!
this is california's DOT nobody wants to drive to that state and deliver anything because of the DOT rules,,,,,my company needed something to be delivered to California and it took them a month to find someone who would go there
Alex, thank you for telling the truth! Mad respect for you! As a truck driver from Cali, I cant stand our emissions laws but thanks for not spreading fake news.
Oregon has sent 300 firefighters 75 pieces of equipment. Our county is getting ready to send more. God bless our boys and girls and bring them home safe 🙏❤ we have top notch equipment!!!
The fact that the DOT stopped them in Sacramento AT ALL and delayed even a single piece of equipment by a day is a travesty. And how much do you want to bet they still gave a fine for all the minor bullshit they found? The DOT, especially in California, is nothing but a revenue collector and has long since stopped being about safety as their priority.
Yup! Sorry Fake News! Fire and water trucks were Inspected and fixed on the spot to make the trip to help with the fires! No trucks were blocked because of emissions standards!
Most emergency and all military vehicles don't have emissions on them they're exempt. But when the Paradise fire happened they wouldn't let me bring my older trucks and equipment to help out. Their fires pollute more than all the trucks combined, they make absolutely no sense.
And how much freon was released from refrigerators, freezers, AC units, etc. Washington released, how many toxic fumes were released from all the plastics and they're worried about emissions.
They ARE forcing them to do DOT inspections which is fckn ridiculous! Fire trucks are extremely well maintained! Forcing them to wait for inspections is ridiculous! Especially since they drove hundreds/thousand+ miles to get there to HELP! California is so worried about vehicle emissions yet the fires are putting a 100 years worth of emissions in the air every day!
California is very serious about air pollution and rules have to be enforced. It is not fake news but the truth. The California Air Resource Board has issued a directive about banning trucks that are not complying to emissions standards.
Thank you for making sure to have the truth. I was scrolling, and one video had a picture of the Hollywoid sign with flames coming near. It only took a few minutes to check and find out the sign is not even near were the current fires are.
@ for sure there’s something going on. I can’t put my finger on it, but it doesn’t take long to respond to an emergency. I’m part of emergency services for my company and it’s taking a heck of a long time to head out to California due to permit issues . it just doesn’t make any sense but for sure there’s something cooking in the pot.
This is real crazy because I’m still waiting for my permits to come in to get into California. No lie there’s a fleet waiting to go, but everything has to do with admissions.
Sorry Fake News! Fire and water trucks were Inspected and fixed on the spot to make the trip to help with the fires! No trucks were blocked because of emissions standards!
I could taste the wall of crap in the air as I left my home in Riverside County to drive into work in a capacity from Truck Driver to the incredible transformation to Executive Protection Agent......
I wonder if California will relax its trucking laws since this fire has caused 150 billion in damages. This is a goldmine, but with those laws, who would go down there?
The fire trucks had to have their trucks checked coming in and going out of the state before they could help California. What was they checked for ? It's true they did have to be inspected to help before they could help and after.
They have no business out there unless they are helping with the fire 🔥 At this point who in the hell are they going to help 😂😂EPA WILL FINE THE FIRES 😂😂
Thanks for bringing the news Alex! I used to get flatbed delivery to KC out of Chatsworth CA but now they break up my orders and send XPO. Is there really a problem with lack of OTR rigs in CA? Lots of industry in that area of the 🔥 I’m 🙏🏻 for all those displaced.
Yeah thats true!!! I'm there! I accepted and volunteered to take the freight, it's a cheap freight! I'm hauling a tanker full of fresh snow water right now! And I'm being turned away!
Yes I agree use the ocean water and use footage to film fire sharks. The cast from melrose place and 90210 cans tar in it. Oh ya we can also use chips cast also . And yes I 100% agree with you
I think a lot of people commenting about this never read past the headline because their comments sound like California is stopping trucks and sending them back if they fail emissions tests. This is clearly debunked but that does not seem to get through to some people. There were no emissions tests performed, just safety checks for things like brakes, hydraulic systems, probably even lights and back up alarms. The last thing you need in a fire covering large residential areas is a fire truck breaking down and blocking a street that may need to be used for evacuation of citizens or fire fighters. Or see a fire fighter run over by a fire truck with no working back up alarm in the middle of an active fire site with several engines operating and a massive fire crackling away.
My question is who required the trucks to stop and be repaired, the truck drivers or the state despots? If it was the drivers reporting problems, then OK. If it was a state agency, then the stop was criminal!
Thank you so much for this real insightful information.Rhetoric, misinformation,2nd hand information are rampant.Thank you for checking the Facts.Much Appreciated,Much needed
I have a family member who is a firefighter and it’s true they were told that they could hitch a ride but couldn’t bring their truck as they have strong emission control laws
Sorry Fake News!!!! They were doing safety inspection checks to make sure they can make the trip and fixed problems on the spot! No Emission checks were done!!!!! No water trucks or fire trucks were blocked because of emissions standards!
Still. California has fallen and occupied by traitors. Not a lie in my words
With all respect. They are all lying
Even an inspection qualifies as hindering an emergency vehicle from performing it's job .
I guess exact change toll booths 5 miles up the road news is next.

They are checking brakes and mechanical, not smog. A truck isn’t helpful if it’s going to break down during the fire.
Thank you very much for your time and effort.
I don’t believe that any water truck was turned away. I know California can be azzes at times but I don’t believe they would do it right now
This is true. Equipment from Arizona was sent back I know that for sure my neighbor is a firefighter in Kingman. Their trucks were sent back
Alex!!! Prayers for the victims.
💯
2:40 So the trucks were delayed at the inspection point, until they did "repairs". Is that right?
Same thing with the Hurricane in NC
If a idiot on the road told me emissions were the problem I would have a problem!
I am NOT surprised at all. The US has blocked emergency help for just about every disaster for the past 20 years or so!! It's SINFUL!
Emergency help needs to be organized to be helpful. People rushing in to help without being vetted and accounted for is dangerous.

They were stopped for inspections to make the trip, but thats a different narrative than blocking trucks for Emissions
You don't get to stop it. Free speech. You just have to sift through it or get off social media.
Crazy! The fires have produced more emissions than 100 years of automobiles.
They have no business out there unless they are helping with the fire 🔥 At this point who in the hell are they going to help 😂😂EPA WILL FINE THE FIRES 😂😂
Well it's good to know that the California fires aren't doing any polluting
Controlled opposition
Thanks for bringing the news Alex! I used to get flatbed delivery to KC out of Chatsworth CA but now they break up my orders and send XPO. Is there really a problem with lack of OTR rigs in CA? Lots of industry in that area of the 🔥 I’m 🙏🏻 for all those displaced.
Yeah thats true!!! I'm there! I accepted and volunteered to take the freight, it's a cheap freight! I'm hauling a tanker full of fresh snow water right now! And I'm being turned away!
I 💯 believe you, but as far as the fire Trucks and water trucks that where coming to help with the fire. They did not get turned away
15 strike teams w/300 ff's and 75 engines have arrived in So Cal from Oregon
Did people realize, that California is laying on the ocean? Enough water there! 😮
Salt water doesn’t help saturate the forrest. We need rain to fall on the forrest so brush and trees don’t become dry and burn easily.
Yes I agree use the ocean water and use footage to film fire sharks. The cast from melrose place and 90210 cans tar in it. Oh ya we can also use chips cast also .
And yes I 100% agree with you
I think a lot of people commenting about this never read past the headline because their comments sound like California is stopping trucks and sending them back if they fail emissions tests. This is clearly debunked but that does not seem to get through to some people. There were no emissions tests performed, just safety checks for things like brakes, hydraulic systems, probably even lights and back up alarms. The last thing you need in a fire covering large residential areas is a fire truck breaking down and blocking a street that may need to be used for evacuation of citizens or fire fighters. Or see a fire fighter run over by a fire truck with no working back up alarm in the middle of an active fire site with several engines operating and a massive fire crackling away.
If they have time to inspect vehicles while Rome is burning, I have to question their motivations.
Trucks become a liability if they break down
My question is who required the trucks to stop and be repaired, the truck drivers or the state despots? If it was the drivers reporting problems, then OK. If it was a state agency, then the stop was criminal!
Been driving now for over 28 years never delivered in Cali and never will! Yall can have it!
There are people in NC stuck being forced to live in tents during these cold winter days. Go help them. Californians can help themselves.
ThankYou 4Sharing !!! ❤ 🕊 ⚜🕯 MuchLove
Thanks brother 👍Good looking out 😊
Thank you so much for this real insightful information.Rhetoric, misinformation,2nd hand information are rampant.Thank you for checking the Facts.Much Appreciated,Much needed
You are very welcome
Did you find anything on the Arizona trucks? Are the trucks any good if there is no water in California? Just asking
Couldn't find the information. Still searching
I hauled fuel for fire support and we did have to comply with emissions standards. Even during a state of emergency.
Thank you, Alex!
America you need to get rid of the EPA
CARB and all its regulations need to be removed.
I have a family member who is a firefighter and it’s true they were told that they could hitch a ride but couldn’t bring their truck as they have strong emission control laws
Your family member lied to you then.
