I think it is inevitable that Ca ports close. Or, are massively scaled down.
With Ca essentially banning 50%+ of the trucks needed to move goods.
It is imperative for shippers to move the destination to a hub that can move as much as they can land ASAP.
Now add in Union/ worker/ Staffing/ reliability issues?
#6 I was watching a trucking video and a guy had his CDL suspended when he went to renew. The video/audio was capture on his cell phone when he went to the DMV in South Carolina where he has lived since 2017. Before he lived in AZ and Calif prior. It turned out that California said he owed $10 dollars <-ten back in 2001 for a traffic fine when he was traveling thru Arizona to California by car. He had paid by mail but it looked like the state never received. He called up the AZ DMV and the lady helped him out. She had lived in his current state and knew the area and he knew AZ. She said it was Calif putting the block and not AZ as he first thought.
Keep in mind this ticket he got happened 22 years ago!!
They both mentioned that many warehouses were being built in a AZ town they both knew and he said it was because truckers drop off their loads as their trucks are not allowed into Calif!! and other truckers then take the load into Calif.
This makes everything cost more money!!
