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.
The Media conveniently leaves out that the problem stems from California Democrat Regulations. The prices keep getting higher for truck drivers to do business in California.
You can thank Governor Gavin Newsom and the idiot liberals that don’t know where their food and other essentials come from that keep voting him into office. So when you are in empty grocery stores fighting over rationed essentials and food remember who ran the truck drivers and small truck driving businesses out of California. Please wake up America before it’s too late.
Considering that over half of the nation’s fresh produce comes from CA and that trucks move most of it, the nation should listen up.
Democrats have Ruined California & want to do the same to the rest of America !!!!
Throw them the Hell out of all Govt office > SOLVED then the truckers can go there !!!!!
The newer trucks bring the products from California to Arizona border to large warehouses where the older trucks pick them up to distribute around the country. California is a real liberal crap hole!!

The TRUTH > ALL the Democrat’s FAULT for Everything !!!!! Trump had Everything FIXED !!!!!
Democrats.
They continue to F up EVERYTHING they touch.
In their “rainbows and unicorns” vision of the world, they NEVER seem to address the real-world effects of what they do.
Their paycheck is covered by people who actually work and produce something.
They don’t have to worry about how they will put food on the table or pay the grocery bill, or keep the electric turned on — they just keep their face in the public trough and preach about how bad everyone who doesn’t get in lockstep with them is…..
If we don’t start hanging democrats, we will most certainly crash and burn ourselves into a third world cesspool.
Their IS NOT a “driver shortage”. There IS an intelligence shortage.
I’ve said it before and every day they PROVE IT. Democrats are DANGEROUS to our future.
80 million votes, huh? Their voter base is also apparently pretty stupid, too.

The California ports are full of ships. Mostly container ships waiting to be unloaded. The article speaks the truth. The ports can not get the containers off the ships because there is no place to put them. There are neighborhoods near the ports that have containers and chassis lining the streets. The new rules that California has put into place, along with the rules at the ports, have put a halt to shipping. Very few are willing to invest in a so called green energy truck. I feel that the crap made in China can sit out there and rot. I am waiting for California to put restrictions on the ships from anchoring off the coast.
truck driving SUCKS anyway !!!! Ask the Veteran Drivers !!!!! Been there done, that 40 years !!!! By By !!!! LOL
Thank your GOVT who always has harrassed truck drivers & gone too far in Over regulating them !!!!
