Without truckers, America would grind to a halt. There’s no doubt about it. Truckers work a demanding job delivering our food, clothes and other necessities. But rather than support our hard-working men and women behind the wheel, President Joe Biden continues to empty their wallets and force them to drive electric trucks for his radical climate-change agenda.
Well, we are pushing back. The Biden administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California have no right or legal justification to force truckers to follow their radical climate-change policies. That’s why I, along with 18 other state attorneys general, are taking Biden to court.
Iowa's trucking industry employs about 100,000 Iowans. That is nearly one in 13 of our state’s workers. Meanwhile, Biden’s illegal truck ban puts the whole industry at risk. The Biden administration has set us on track to devastate the nation’s biofuels industry, hike prices for businesses and truckers, and designate California as a leading decision-maker in the trucking industry.
In March, the Biden administration’s EPA violated the Constitution by granting California a waiver to issue its own set of truck emissions standards. Those radical standards go further than the regulations set for the rest of the country and effectively ban the sale of gas or diesel trucks.
California’s truck ban requires that about 55% of delivery vans and small trucks, 75% of buses and larger trucks, and 40% of tractor-trailers and other big rigs be fully electric by 2035. By 2045, gas and diesel trucks will be outright banned from being sold in California.
But it gets much worse. Due to the Biden administration’s waiver, it is likely that these rules will impact not just California, but America in its entirety. Since California has such a large economy – the fifth largest in the world – its radical climate-change...

There is no F ing way this will happen.
Sane people are well aware of this and therein lies the problem.
The Holodomor comes to mind with everything else that’s going on affecting agriculture.
Yes, but obama will. This is all his handiwork.
If it goes through it will destroy. How many independents could afford this? How many out of state? Again, how much of a loss even union truckers?
And what cost to the consumer?
It won’t wreck the Trucking Industry. It will wreck the Economy!
Food won’t get delivered. Products won’t flow. There will be no gas or oil.
Insane.
Isn’t that the plan?
So the dems finally got the Iowa Corn-Hustlers upset. Let’s see if this shows up on the primary trail before the caucuses.
I wouldn’t expect trucks to require drivers too much longer. Drones will start carrying more load soon, although noise will likely limit their use - hopefully.

2023 Peterbilt 389. $295,000
Consumers pay for this truck with increased prices.
If California dies from self imposed truck rules, America benefits.
California is a cancer on the Republic. California death is good for America
(sorry California Freepers. I know you ate trapped and unable to extricate your selves. Think Oregon and the Idaho initive)
“Insane California green energy rules could wreck trucking industry”
Nothing ‘insane’ about their rules. They know EXACTLY what they’re doing, and what the results will be.
Stop the flow of goods, shut down farming in the name of “climate change” resulting in small business failures. This is part of the globalists plan to destroy the middle class and bring down our country so we can be subjected to their rule over us.
Biden has stated he wanted to accelerate the WEF’s Great Reset agenda.
bttt
The base incentive for an electric truck or bus will depend on its gross vehicle weight rating class. There are eight weight classes, but Nevada is only providing incentives for seven classes, from 2B – which has a base incentive of $20,000 – and up. The heaviest gross vehicle weight rating class, 8, has a base incentive of $175,000.

I used to think like you. No more.
After watching the full tilt rush toward sex changes on children, people getting fired for saying being a man or woman is biological, security guards getting fired for stopping theft, teachers getting fired for not using someone's pronouns, Los Angeles city councilmembers saying catalytic converter theft is the fault of the car manufacturers for making the theft so easy, etc. etc. etc. at this point I believe anything is possible because doing and saying insane unmoored from reality statements and actions is not only condoned it's encouraged and rewarded.
All by design.
Build Back Better means destroying first.
The ports in California are backed up now just wait until there are NO Trucks ,LOL
