Friend who is a career driver for a local independent trucking outfit just the other day said this about trucking and per trucking into CA:
"The media keeps talking and reporting about a trucker shortage being part of the problem with getting cargo ships unloaded …. What they don’t report is that the cost of fuel is over $2.00 higher than the national average , the environmental laws that prohibit certain trailers into the state , and the new law passed in September which prohibits owner operators from working in the state . Truckers don’t really want to go to California because they have too many regulations against the trucking industry."
