Big rigs and buses made before 2010 are now banned from operating on California roadways.
The law, which went into effect on New Year’s Day, was part of a set of clean air regulations the California Air Resources Board passed nearly 15 years ago.
According to truck lobbying groups, the new law will prohibit about 10 percent of the commercial motor vehicles that are operating in the state.
“The rule applies to diesel vehicles that weigh at least 14,000 pounds. The air resources board said there are an estimated 200,000 vehicles that have yet to comply with the rule just days before the new year, including roughly 70,000 big rig trucks,

I know, "there are more Republicans in CA than any other state." And? What have you done? Reagan's CA is dead and buried. It is a welfare state now. Sell out and move to the heartland to farm. Move to a place where your vote counts and your dollar goes father. Move to a red state to keep it red, a purple state to turn red. You GOOD FOLKS are needed HERE!!
Let the Commies eat their own and stop feasting on you!
This kind of insanity should it come to full fruition will lead to total agricultural desolation... and in the end that is the financial backbone of CA.

The Air Resources Board is a bureaucracy that is totally infected with the notion that carbon is a deadly toxic poison and is implementing the most ridiculous agenda that will accomplish nothing but cost billions. On areas of building construction and motor vehicles they are trying to make environmental laws to rewrite the laws of physics. Total insanity.

Those fools who are still paying personal income tax to CA need to STOP. You cannot jail them all. This would essentially be a well-deserved vote of no confidence by the people who are the producers, upon which the CA Commies FEED.
Stop the engine of California and return it to sanity. Or go down with the ship.

You get what you vote for. CA voters want full bore Communism. CA voters are getting full bore Communism. And Newsom wants to bring that Communism to America. BTW with the ban on semis CA stores will now become fully stocked - naw. Velkome to real Communism, Venezuela style.

I wonder how many pieces of Fire Equipment are subject to this law.
Pretty soon they will have another stoppage of Commerce when they outlaw all Fossil fueled trucks and make them go electric.

The problem with setting ridiculous long term goals in order to please a bunch of fanatical leftist voters is that the date for the lunacy to go into effect comes around while the idiots who created said lunacy are still in office. You need to be smart like Joe Biden and set dates like 2050 that you will never see. Several deadlines for the end of the world caused by Climate Change have already passed and there is still beachfront property where it used to be thirty years ago. Some icecaps are growing in area. Now the prognosticators need to 'splain why.

What will the illustrious Secretary of Transportation, Mayor Pete, have to say about this? Suddenly losing a large percentage of perfectly good trucks for transportation in the supply chain will just make a bad problem even worse.

I have heard there are modern-day hippies that convert old school buses to rolling RVs. If properly maintained they can run for decades on the old diesel engines. I wonder if they will be forced off the road by the progressive, non-judgmental California government.

I still think this could be a case for the Supreme Court in that this law will affect interstate commerce.

Let them starve, burn up, freeze or drown. California did all of this to themselves. A beautiful place has become a homelessness cesspool.
And not one cent of federal bailout!

Common sense will tell you such a law in California will cause all sorts of adverse supply chain situations to the East of California as big rigs, a lot of them built before 2010, from all over the USA and Canada, go there to pick up every type freight that you can think of and haul that freight, including a lot of food, to every location in North America East of California.

The predominant mode of transportation in California will be the bicycle. Can't move cargo that way.
Agree with #1. The blue states cannot survive without productive people to feed on. Why does one allow that kind of behavior? Leave!

So which legislators profit most from the sale of new trucks? And how many independent operators will go out of business because they can't afford to buy new trucks??

CARB is another unelected 3-letter Agency (?) that makes rules and regulations without going through the legislative process. That way no elected bums can be blamed. Same as Washington DC.

It appears that many truckers will need to incorporate in another state, register their truck there, and proceed with business. The communists in Californication have no intent on honoring individual rights and liberty.

Well, the good news for any of those California folks who want to 'return home' in a reverse Grapes of Wrath move will be happy to know that I-40 (aka: Hwy 66) is now an interstate highway. Come on Home...................

This is something Congress needs to stop. Congress has the power to regulate interstate commerce. They need to stop CA.

Interstate commerce!
product which is imported to and transits through kalifornica to consumers outside of the State is cost inflated due to these "anti-pollution" laws.
I contacted both TX Senators about this matter months ago. Crickets.

Stop using California ports for shipping. That's the solution here. Lots of east coast and gulf coast ports available.
California is becoming a literally failed state. Businesses need to just stay away.

There will be a new industry of shipping across state lines, unloading into a real truck, then going back for another load. This will only make our produce more expensive, but entrepreneurs will get the food out.

Maybe all truckers should stop moving freight in CA. Starve them out. Bankrupt the woke State. No moving freight means no profit for companies. No profit for companies means those companies leave the State. When those companies go, so do the jobs. Who will pay for all their woke social programs?

This will seriously reduce the amount of goods going into or out of California making it even more unfriendly to business, causing more of them to relocate and causing prices to soar. Do they think their tax base can be supported by the idiots that are left?

Oh great. The or one of the largest ports is Long Beach and I'm sure this will really help with the supply chain for the rest of the country. /sarc

Desperate to stop competition from independent truckers so their union, corrupt, HIGH PRICED trucking companies can take over all the business.
Commies are ALWAYS thinking of new ways to prevent free market competition on everything.

This is going to make it impossible to deliver food and goods to and from the ports or to warehouses. I guess those folks out there don't worry about such frivolities such as eating.
