The final rule in a set of regulations adopted 15 years ago takes effect this week, banning some 70,000 big rigs from California roads.
A set of clean air regulations implemented by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in 2008, and later signed into law as Senate Bill 1, states that any diesel vehicles weighing over 14,000 pounds and built before 2010 are banned from operating on California roads as of Jan. 1, 2023.

We in California agriculture use these trucks for crop production and product transportation. We haul tractors, fertilizer, irrigation equipment, seed, etc to the field with these trucks. We haul harvest equipment, boxes, containers, to bring in the crops. We use these trucks to haul product to packing sheds, slaughter houses, farmers markets etc. You city folks with all of your virtual signaling edicts to come whine to me about $10 a head lettuce.

Will trucks being driven by Mexican illegals be exempt from the rules?
To: artichokegrower
California is trying to ensure that we buy more crops from Mexico.

The rules exist to crush the people who are trying to be productive.

Doesn’t this violate interstate commerce clause?

Thats easy to say, but with as much agro as CA produces, this will drive prices everywhere up, up, up.

Mom and pop farmers in California will be driven out of business. Between this and the new regulatory requirements it will be impossible for the small farmer to survive.

“Doesn’t this violate interstate commerce clause?”
California will argue that other states allowing these trucks violates the full faith & credit clause, and if they do it in front of the right judge, they’ll probably win.

"Let the ‘Rats of beautiful Calif. starve." Unfortunately, most of America's fresh produce comes from California. It looks like California in fixing to starve the rest of us too. I guess I'll have to go on a meatatarian diet, while all the ruminants starve.

The deliberate mismanagement and scuttling of what remains of California is right on schedule.

But due to our international agreement Trucks won’t have to honor it if they come from Canada and Mexico ;-)
They are just exporting more US jobs.

It’s a violation of the 5th amendment. The State must buy all those vehicles.

Thank you for yours and your family's sacrifices so that the rest of us may have food on our tables.
Since you only use these trucks a few times per year during planting and harvesting, it isn't economically feasible for you to replace these trucks every ten years, any more than you could replace your tractors or combines every ten years. (Although I'm fairly confident you don't use a combine to harvest artichokes...)
Hopefully California will realize the error of this law and at the very least grant an agriculture exemption for farm use only trucks.

How long until Newsom declares “We had no idea despite the assurances of our highly trained experts that California would face a record supply chain crisis. We didn’t see this one coming.”

Hopefully California will realize the error of this law...This is California. If the law doesn't work, they'll double down on their destructive behavior.
