Subject: [TacomaArt] One reason why ships are not unloaded in California
Subject: One reason why ships are not unloaded in California
62 ships with countless containers full of junk, mostly from China still
unable to port and unload. The government and media say it's because of the
"epic" buying power of the US citizens prepping for the holidays. BS
Californian officials are blaming labor shortages and trucking
shortages. BS
Here's some facts from the trucking industry.
The NEWS says the California port situation is caused by a driver shortage.
Not so fast: It is in part caused by a California Truck Ban which says all
trucks must be 2011 or newer and a law called AB 5 which prohibits Owner
Operators.
Traditionally the ports have been served by Owner Operators (non-union).
California has now banned Owner Operators.
Long term, truckers in California are not investing in new trucks because
California has a law that makes them illegal in 2035. The requirement is to
purchase electric trucks which do not exist.
And in the words of Paul Harvey, “Now you know the rest of the story”
BUSINESS
CARB to begin blocking certain trucks’ DMV registrations in 2020
Carriers domiciled in California with trucks older than 2011 model or
using engines manufactured before 2010, will need to meet the Board’s new
Truck and Bus Regulation beginning in 2020 or their vehicles will be
blocked from registration with the state’s DMV, the state has said.
The new “health-based requirements” will need to be met before a driver is
allowed to register his or her truck through the Department of Motor
Vehicles, CARB says. A new enforcement tool used by the DMV beginning in
2020 will automatically block 2010 and older trucks from registration.
Then there's the $5+ a gallon diesel fuel
prices.////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
