That’s simple. Don’t deliver any goods to California.
You forget the ports the goods enter the US from are located in California. They are trying to put a strangle hold on the economy of the entire US.
Lots of what is delivered comes from California. I am a California native. Born and raised. I am a practicing Christian and a Republican. We are stuck right in the middle of all this injustice. Believe it or not, we are many. But we are still out numbered. Beware! I believe that their plan is to insert Gavin Newsom for president later in the year. Because they will say it's because of Biden's failing heath. I would bet on it..
I agree, but most of the stuff in America comes through the ports in California.
Time to change where the ports are
Lawsuits against EPA problems ending
F California
Or maybe save it from itself. I'm from CA and there's a lot to love here but the government (and a lot of the coastal population) is bonkers.
Yep been saying that all my life but Dems love to believe in horse s..t

Absolutely, but others do go there. Freight rates will adjust higher to any real shortage.

Pays 90 cents per mile, as a company driver running LTL Team at a large carrier.
So go ahead and stop running CA.
Many truckers can’t go to Cali because their rigs don’t meat Cali standards.
And Other truckers take the additional loads.
Who said California should set the rules for the rest of the country
I didn't vote for it. I don't remember it being on a ballot
Where have you been? It's been that way since the 1950s. Really ramped up in the 70s.
They said so, did you not get the memo that the tyrants running the state are the know all be all
The Democrats in my state decided to put CARB policies in place whenever they come up with new ones….. we”ll enact them ..😞
No to California
I quit going to California years ago, bought a pre emissions truck ,never been more happy. FJB and California.
I live in Asia and travel several times a year to the US. I won’t even use a California airport as my gateway. (For that matter, I won’t connect through Portland or Seattle, either.)
Amen
It's not possible. Most people at the EPA know it's not possible. They won't admit it, but they know it.
How does the EPA represent the people's will? Government is supposed to be "by the people for the people" and this radical rule is not the desire of the people.
@@scottleggejr It doesn't.
let California go hungry.
We will not go hungry, those of us who are preparing. Prep/ pray/ be at peace. We cannot HELP, what location we are stuck at,, but we can help how we react to what’s done to our country/ State/ county. There’s evil at work to crush people globally. So it’s not just CA,,, it’s coming down your hallway too.

@@7Little701 I hope you're right on this one but it seems like whenever California makes up rules here and there especially on the 2nd Amendment but I know the Second Amendment does not have anything to do with the trucking industry whatsoever or the Clean Air laws but it just seems like California is willing its pursuit of controlling just about everything.
@@garyquail4996 The Fed always rolls out new policy in Cali and New York first. If California is doing it it's because the people at the top are test running it and getting people used to it before they roll it out wide. We don't really create these policies so much as we are the lab rats. 😭
Leave the loads at the California border, take them no further
Let California go to the source and transport their own goods in their own vehicles.
Maybe the state should buy a fleet of these non existent trucks and deal with the related problems.
Since the first time I delivered I've said that. Back then you even had to wash truck and trailer when or before entering this state
That would just cause chaos in the bordering state. Not their fault Cali sucks balls.
This does seem to be the best answer. Also, quadruple the capacity of the trains going from ports to just past California's border. Send the containers straight from port to an inland port outside of California.
🚫 California 🚫New York
I never thought trucking would turn into a fight every year Just to keep the shelves stocked.

What many people dont know is that it is still better than diesel/gasoline. Also electricity will become more and more renewable and less fossil fuels.
@@hanshansen3885
That's understood!
However mandating it is counter productive. When a new truck costs upwards for 125k.
@@michaeltewes7833 I might be wrong but last time I checked reduced fuel costs would make up for the difference in price.
@@hanshansen3885 EV sales and charging are incentivized right now. They're trying to lure in new buyers with $10k cash discounts.
When everyone is forced to drive an EV, those incentives will vanish, and the costs will skyrocket. Just you watch!
They're demanding that we shoulder the burden of going green, while they do nothing to clean up energy production or emissions from container ships and air traffic.
It's all a ploy for more money and control. Always has been.
I don’t know who this gentleman is but as a lifelong trucker I want to say thank you for giving us a professional representation. I’m guessing that you don’t usually wear that suit and tie when you’re on the road but I appreciate that you put it on for this interview and spoke plain and clearly what is going on in the trucking industry. Thank you sir! Well done
Stop loads to California
The EPA should be dissolved, they cause more damage than any thing. They pass ideas without thinking about the ramifications.
Just because you do not believe in science and facts, does not make reality false. Said in another way, climate change is the biggest ramification but you didnt think about that.

This is a really easy problem to solve without buying new trucks. Either ship the stuff to a place just outside of California, or just refuse to ship to California.
Exactly
Doesn't really make a difference if mega carriers are buying thousands each year.

@@AmeriGlobalyou tell dispatch "I don't drive there"
@@scottleggejr that's rather funny. a very large portion of drivers don't own their own rig. a company driver isn't going to be allowed to do that. the trucking company will go where freight rates are best and find drivers willing to go anywhere.
@@AmeriGlobal then the state has even less negotiating power to be so union friendly, it sure seems like they're pointing the gun at their own feet
Don't drive past Arizona, Isolate Comifornia
That won't work. Any real shortage would lead to higher freight rates which would attract new entrants into that market. Now of course, we don't mind if Californians have to pay more.
Don't haul anything in or out of California
Tell that to the Mega fleets! I totally understand your idea!
Stop delivering to California. Truckers need to stop being so restricted with laws. If it wasn’t for them we would be halted. Thank them and show respect.
Just don't deliver anything to California.
That would be the fastest and easiest way to resolve this.
or charge 6x more for the same load , since they demands trucks with unrealistic expectations then charge with unrealistic prices too
The EPA is killing the trucking companies
The epa is killing everything
Move out of California and refuse to deliver to the state...leave it at the state border...
This will devastate the economy as prices nationwide skyrocket.
Correct. Higher freight rates in and out of Califronia would give food producers an excuse to raise prices.
And how much money will it cost us in the downtime for charging
Very little if you know your job.
@@hanshansen3885ignorant comment
About 6-8 hours
@@michaeltewes7833 I am sorry but that is just totally wrong. A Tesla Semi will charge up to 70% in 30 minutes or less. Truck drivers have to eat, rest and all that. The truck have to be loaded and unloaded. Plenty of time, if you know your job, that you can use to charge your Semi.
@@hanshansen3885 - That charge time is from Tesla and is based on utilizing the Tesla “Megacharger” (750 kW), which are currently rare as hen’s teeth.
“With less than 2 kWh per mile of energy consumption, Semi can travel up to 500 miles on a single charge. Recover up to 70 percent of range in 30 minutes using Tesla's Semi Chargers.”
- Tesla
To do that, the truck would have to be getting almost a mile/kWh. Do the math.
Currently, real world charge times are double what you’re quoting.
“The Tesla Semis have been driving over 400 miles on a single charge with full loads and average speeds of 65 miles per hour. Tesla can do 70% charge in 60 minutes and 90% charge in 90 minutes. 15-30 minutes for 15-35% topoff charges. Pepsi has 750 kw chargers installed. Tesla Semi were charging during the day to get operated distance.” - Pepsi
To get that 1-mile/kWh, they would be forced to drive at an appreciably reduced speed.
Tesla has done a good job with the truck, but it won’t match the legs of a diesel.
Don’t be disingenuous …
How hard is China laughing at us right now?
China has their own problems. We can laugh at them and their real estate bubble.
Lol, not at all. They're too busy avoiding economic collapse and civil war.
As hard as the rest of the world.
Let California get it's own stuff with their electric semi's. Let California deal with the mess they created.
Electric vehicles belong on train platforms not our highways!
A truck built like a locomotive will work well and burn less fuel. They aren't built because they wouldn't count as "green".
A truck built like a locomotive would work well. It doesn't count as "green" so they aren't built. There is a group in Canada building trucks set up that way.
@@C-Culper4874 Okay how big will it be. How much of the road will it take up? It still will need Diesel fuel!
@user-hb4ed8ej1r The size would depend on the amount of payload area area you wanted. You could build that truck in the window we use now. The trucks tare weight would be higher. Federal Bridge laws would require more tires on the road.
@@C-Culper4874 So in other words it ain’t broke don’t fix it! More tires more rubber more fuel to make the extra tires. It is not worth it. Fix the roads and bridges now. Worry about toy trucks on the road in 30 yrs!
Ev rigs can't haul as much as a diesel because of weight limits and the batteries are super heavy 🪨
There is actually very little difference in hauling capacity but how could you know that....
It depends on what you read. Some sources say there is going to be a 10,000 pound difference, and others say only a thousand or so. Electric trucks get a 2000 pound variance to help make up for the extra weight also.
@@jasonstclair6293 You are making me work... 🥺
@@jasonstclair6293 In US the normal "18-wheeler", is a Class 8 vehicle. I am no expert and I do see terms and numbers that I dont fully understand. With that said, a Class 8 vehicle weighs 33,000 lb without any cargo and they are allowed to weigh up to 80,000 lb.
As you mention the electric semi trucks("18-wheeler") are allowed to carry 82,000 lb in total. Here is where it gets strange because the Tesla Semi is estimated to weigh 27,000 lb without cargo but with battery.
Honestly I dont really know for sure but I have seen a lot of people saying that the Tesla Semi can carry 4,000 lb less than the normal "18-wheeler". Another thing is that most of the time the cargo weight isnt the problem. It is the cargo volume that is the limiting factor.
@@hanshansen3885 I'll agree that the volume is actually a limiting factor more than weight most of the time. I didn't research my comment too well to begin with and do apologize for it. The Tesla is only one example and in the end there may be bigger variations with other manufacturers. Honestly in the end I don't see electric trucks being good for anything but local runs that are home every day to charge anyways.
There's already insufficient parking for all of the trucks on the road, as it is. How the hell do they propose to have all of these trucks charged?? This is getting pretty stupid, really fast, and that's scary. Completely unrealistic.
Your asking the same question I've been asking and no one's given me an answer.
Because they don't think. It doesn't work for local either because some companies have drivers slip seat
If California wants zero emissions tell them to meet the Truckers at the Boarder with their zero emissions vehicle.
I still don't get how a one state that is falling apart gets to have a say in the rest of the country
why is there one man who is speaker of the house? why does he decide what gets voted on?
This is why Caterpillar quit the truck engine market, didn't need the hassle dealing with the emissions BS
Caterpillar are building battery electric trucks…
James Madison was absolutely correct.
"The future and success of America is not in this Constitution,
but in the laws of God upon which this Constitution is founded."
Patrick Henry was definitely correct:
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ." Patrick Henry [U.S. Founder]
Thanks 😊 🫂 🙏 😊 ❤
I like that Patrick Henry Patriot!
And at the same time it was written in a formal treaty document by the U.S. government that the United States is NOT a Christian nation.
But in the end you the consumers will pay if not no food no butt wipe
They already have that planned out.
I don't deliver to CA, WA, IL, NJ, NY, or anything northeast of NY. I will continue to drive my diesel vehicles until the day I die. I ignore the EPA as it is. Deleting a diesel makes it more fuel efficient AND it pollutes less! The EPA is literally insane.
Talk about a supply chain crisis, mess with truckers like this, and every store in America will be empty!
There is going to be a lot of semi trailers full sitting on Arizona, Nevada, borders cause diesel trucks aren't allowed in.
Are you saying diesel trucks won’t be allowed to enter? I think this is about truck sales. With the Interstate Commerce Clause I’d think CA can’t prohibit interstate commerce.
@@RobC1999 california demands any car entering their state to conform with their laws. They 100% pull over and ticket out of state vehicles all the time for dare crossing the border with a vehicle that conforms with the owners home state but not california.

The left wing vs. right wing paradigm has been a massive psy-op on patriots.
John Adams was correct:
"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution."
..rather than political party opposition vote, like Parliament.
U.S. government should be elected representatives for their congressional district and for their state.
Not a power play.
It is also just wrong that we have multinational organizations infiltrate our government, that is what it is: they might suggest and we can consider what is recommended.
That's it.
Whats zero emissions not even electricity can do that
Zero emissions is a term for very very low CO2 emissions. Renewable energy is very very low CO2 emissions.
@hanshansen3885
Just a quick question ❓
How much CO2 in in the air you and I breath????
@@michaeltewes7833 Currently 425 ppm. 50 years ago it was 332 ppm. 120 years ago it was 295 ppm.
Lets make the rate go up by not accepting cheap loads 🙏 Trucking is what moves the country yet they are paying so low lots of business are shutting down. Truckers for Trump 2024!
Build areas for OTR trucks to drop trailers at the state line and let EV trucks haul into California.
Tell us you don't understand logistics without telling us you don't understand logistics!!
@@WhoReallyCares917 I'm telling you that most truckers dream of dropping their trailer at the state line and not dealing with Ca. Many trucks drop n hook in desert center or other places already. I don't get what you're saying either.
@ronwest7930 Alright, Einstein, just a few issues you need to consider!
1st Who is going to pay for the drivers downtime (2 days est)
2nd Who pays for damage to the trailer?
3rd Who pays for out of temp or rejected products?
4th Who pays for the additional insurance required for all this ?
It's not as simple as just drop the trailer at the state line and have a EV truck run it to the receiver !
@@WhoReallyCares917 I used to do this so it's not a pipe dream. There was no/little downtime. why would the trailer be damaged any more than any other drop and hook? The shipper pays for product damage since the trailer was sealed when transferred. Insurance can be worked out. It's all doable, I'm guessing you've never dropped and hooked or ran freight into drop yards going into Mexico. or dropped a trailer at a yard because the delivery date was a few days away. This would create many semi-local jobs also.
@ronwest7930 I'm very familiar with the trucking industry 12 years otr and 18 years as a small fleet owner..
I can tell by your responses that you have never done anything outside of holding the wheel...
So when a heavy big rig is involved in an accident , if there's any survivors they get to take an acid bath? , along with increased fire risk ? The system we have has worked for 100+ YRS
The batteries don't have acid in them number one truck steering gasoline or highly flammable and trucks carrying diesel are also very dangerous. The cargo in most cases is more dangerous than the trucks electric or diesel. Did you know trains run on electricity that they make themselves with a diesel motor
@hollyjust1367 There is something called climate change which the fossil fuel use in the past 100+ years have created. So yeah the system was actually pretty bad.
Someone didnt like my comment yesterday.
"The system we have" have had a very big flaw and that is something that needs to be addressed very fast.
I was looking at our companies new electric big rig yesterday. It has a range of 100 miles. It takes 4 hours to recharge. It had to be towed back to the shop twice.
When we don’t have any food to eat hell we break loose because this is what they want you better wake up
That and they ate not gonna get very far on a battery. This is totally not gonna work. They may need to stop all deliveries in California.
File a violation of the interstate commerce clause against the California epa.
Require California to apply the same rule for airplanes that they apply to trucks. That'll be the end of that.
Cali has been dictating for a long time.
There’s no way to achieve zero emissions on a fuel burning truck and besides they need to explain what they are going to do with all the bad batteries
I wonder why truckers still going to California to do deliveries, let them alone with their stupidity
ELECTRIC trucks....oh, now there's genius right there. I can't stand California... or this government
Maybe the country will listen if truckers and oil companies take a 30 day holiday. There might be a nation wide "Wait, what??!!" (Even 7 days might do it.)
Great way to cause more inflation. Truckers need to join unions if they want to be heard. Most of that industry is non-union and powerless.
@@AmeriGlobal Yes, for a short while and that would be part of the point. The alternative will create long term higher inflation. And new Unions are great until the leadership retires and is inevitably replace by corrupt self-interested and/or "special/political interest" Union bosses.
It wouldn't take two days. If trucks stopped running today, you'd notice it tomorrow.
And where are 1 million trucks going to charge every day. ? This is insanity.
There's an interview with a Canadian trucker who did the math after hearing that the Canadian government wanted to mandate all long haul trucks in Canada go electric. Replacing every truck that currently exists in Canada with an electric one would draw more electricity than the entire nation currently produces. And those trucks would only run half the distance per day the current fleet does. Canada would need to TRIPLE its national electricity output in order to move as much material as they already do and DOUBLE the number of drivers on the road.
And that's just semis. Imagine electrifying EVERY vehicle. Canada would need to produce more electricity than probably the US or China produces right now to make the same number of miles. And they have 1/9th of America's population.
Truckers, no emissions? Next thing truckers won't be allowed to go to the restrooms in the truckstops. Leave it to california.
It's all an effort to snuff out the little guy. Mega carriers are in bed with the ATA and the ATA is in bed with the EPA. Shippers want cheap at all cost. Brokers do exactly that, make the guy doing the work BROKEr. Full circle, the Megas take the cheap freight that the little guys avoid and make it 'work' on sheer volume, wages be damned, fully taking advantage on the massive turnover AND/OR someone with ZERO standards and ZERO skin in the game that gets BAMBOOZLED into filling one or more of their seats. Lather Rinse Repeat.
the truckers should refuse to deliver to that state PERIOD! Take the trucking businesses out of the state and make California have to pickup orders from surrounding states.
There will never in our lifetime be a '0' Emissions vehicle. Complete nonsense.

Huh. California is 1 state. If every trucker refuse to go to california. They will change their tune. California $20 minimum wage didnt do them justice too. $15 for mcdonalds.😂
A Tesla Model Y weighs 4250 lbs, carries a 1700 lb battery and has a range of 275 miles. Scale that up to a fully loaded semi tractor trailer. So 80,000 lbs fully loaded, the battery would weigh 32,000 lbs and you could drive 275 miles before recharge.
You might want to redo that math after you have done some more research.
