well don’t buy crap from china. A tool made in boisie gets to me by trucks not going to california. there will be whole new trade routes in the US now. None going thru chicago. Amazon did it. now the rest have to follow. There is a huge i mean hugh and serial truck disbursement center going up in south jersey on 322. target has a new warehouse there and this other place drawfs everything i have seen. But it is built in another communist country. Jersey.

Short answer..... the democrat party.

Excerpts: 2019 was described as a “bloodbath” for the trucking industry with 640 trucking companies across the country filing for bankruptcy in just the first half of the year.
-snip-

Last year, California’s DMV began refusing to register thousands of trucks with an estimated 100,000 trucks under threat.

That was part of the plan.
California Democrats and their environmentalist special interests had set out to crush the state’s ports and trucking industry....

Kalifornia is a shit hole!

Back in late 1984 I was a greenhorn driver riding team. We made a run out to LA. Just to enter the state was a port of entry where they checked to drum up business for the local truck stops. Then we made the delivery. From there it took three days to get a load out of LA and we were lucky because we pulled a reefer. That load took three stops and a couple of days last pick up was in Yuma, AZ all stops hauling iced produce non pallet. We delivered to St Louis at a huge produce warehouse and more fun and games began with the so called persons from south of Texas who work cheap so they say. They don't and we ended up unloading it ourselves.

I can only imagine it has gotten a lot worse since then. The two places truckers then and now didn't like going into was Cali and the NYC/NJ area. Their roads back then especially were not truck friendly meaning you had to find a truck route in. Worst run into NY state involved Readers Digest in Pleasantville, NY. WE liked to have never found the company and we delivered where dispatch and paperwork said to. As soon as we pulled up they informed us we had to go another 20 miles to a warehouse. Oh one last gem maybe somebody remembers which state I think it was Vermont that closed it's roads including the interstate on Sunday to truck traffic. Again this was mid 1980's. I ran about 8 months and got a better paying job off the road 7-4 with much fewer headaches & unrelated to trucking.

most articles never mention newsome or ca legislature

almost like they are being protected

You can send the ships around to Mississippi. They got a good port there, I hear, and plenty of trucks.

[flaglady47]

A lot of those ships offshore in CA should get going and head for FL where Gov DeSantis has put out the invitation to relocate to FL ports. The more shipping companies re-route to FL, the angrier the Biden regime will get. They loathe DeSantis and the Gov has one-upped them with his “come to FL” PR campaign that to some degree has already worked.

Many more shipping companies will now begin to re-route to FL and there will be even more to come. And the State of FL will get richer and richer and produce ever more new jobs at FL ports, improving even more the FL economy which is already booming. DeSantis’ invitation is, come on down you ships, the water’s warm.

I like the idea another FReeper had - to dig a canal between the USA and Mexico.

[RetiredArmy]

Maybe the damned unions will finally wake up. Naw, no way they do that. It is infused in their blood to vote commie dimocrat.

"California Drove Truckers Out of Business."

It's probably against the law to even talk about this....

[momincombatboots]

That’s only part of the problem. Diesel is cheaper to refine, yet now more expensive due to the Obama taxes. Trump never addressed that. The cost of going green. Just think, get rid of the green taxes and let us drive diesels like the rest of the world.

[central_va]

California Drove Truckers Out of Business. Free Traitors™ off shored industry for the cheapest possible (slave) labor rate and Now Store Shelves Are Empty.

Fixed it.

[central_va]

As a nationalist I am loving this!!

Globalism and the failed policy of off shoring industry are on display every day! May it get worse and worse.

WE DESERVE THIS.

It's not just about trucks.

Canada's CPPIB to buy Ports America from Oaktree to further infrastructure push

Watchdog raises concern about Canadian pension investments in China

Guess who's running our major ports now?

[central_va]

There is an alternative to relying on the Communist Chinese and the Communist Californians to meet our needs.....

Sadly, it seems to may that most Freepers are Limbaugh brain washed "Free Traitors™".
