Here is a big part of the problem. All trucks entering or operating in CA must be California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliant. That means they have to be newer than 2008 or have a new CARB compliant replacement engine. Maybe about 60% or more of the national truck fleet is automatically banned from CA. Many independent owner operators just flat refuse to travel in the state because of all the additional regulations (edit) and the crazy high price of fuel.
It's not a surprise there is a truck shortage at the ports.
