I’m going to take a shot at what this means....

Looks to me like this means that CA can literally shut down transportation supply chains to the rest of the nation.

yes? no?

Yes... and it’s a suicide mission.

No contract truckers in CA... in a economic environment with shortages and inflation... is going to get breadlines and chaos,

There’s a bottleneck at the ports now due to a lack of drivers. If the independents can’t get in to the ports as an alternative for shipping managers, then the answer is supply chain slow-downs are going to get a lot worse.

Many shipping managers though are looking to move deliveries to Canada and have drivers pick-up cargo there. Then it is only California that suffers the brunt of a stagnant supply chain.

Since we’re still under the Declared National Emergency Biden could override this, but he won’t. Trump would as to not have the American people suffer due bad regulation, but Biden and the Democrats won’t.

Seeing as most of our crap comes from China, and most Chinese crap comes in through California ports, I'd say yes.

Better grow a garden, food dehydrator, and large freezer....no fresh food makes life a bit more challenging.

1st California will experience a shortage of trucks to move the goods. Freight coming into the ports will leave via train to out of state. In bound shipments will be slowed, delayed, etc. Then the cost of shipping will increase. Finally the cost of everything will increase, food, fuel, etc. Great move California, maybe next you can pass a law that requires people to buy from a company so the company can be profitable and not close or leave California.

A trucking company domiciled outside CA that makes deliveries to or from CA would not be covered by this law. It’s the local trucking contractors who never cross a state line who have the most exposure here.

Looks like east coast and gulf ports are going to be busy. Ditto Oregon and Washington. Might even see a significant uptick in trucks coming from Mexico via AZ and NM.

Yes - if you can pick up loads any where else - no need to go to California. Unfortunately the majority of our stuff comes through the Port of LA - Long Beach that provides millions of loads to truckers.
