Could this stall moving supplies in and out of the state? likely

Could this stall moving supplies in and out of the state? likely

My understanding is that many with the older trucks are retrofitting the newer engines into them to remain compliant in CA. There are new businesses that started up, that is all they do. It is still an expensive proposition, pushes more small truckers out and bigger trucking companies gain market share, reduce price competition.

This only covers large ones, but pre‐2010 vehicles are also the only ones likely to survive an EMP or a strong solar event (like the 1859 Carrington event). All newer vehicles depend on delicate electronics that will be fried.

For a state that burns every year, this will hurt in that regard because think of all the fire support that has older diesel engines. I used to run support for helicopter firefighting and one of our fuel trucks was regulated to 1,000 miles per year in the state because it didn't have any emissions bullcrap on it.

I bet a huge portion of their school bus fleet is pre-2010.

Are they banned from registering in California or even entering with another state registration and plates

Even out of state vehicles entering into the state. So any older vehicle will be banned from picking up from the shipping ports.

I'd love to know how they are going to enforce that without stopping every truck at all the border crossings.

The ports are easy but yeah, it'll be tough. If a small business has a fab shop in CA and ships finished components out of state then who's checking their trucks? It is a wannabe communist shithole so maybe they just expect people to rat out other people.
