Well that’s confusing because I thought that older trucks (pre-2011) were already banned unless their engines were modified to meet emission standards met by the newer trucks. Actually what they’re doing is refusing to provide them with registrations (tags).
I mentioned that diesel/gas freight trucks were headed for the guillotine in 2035 but I thought that was the date they would banned from use in California making electric powered trucks mandatory. Do they get to continue their use to end of life, or will they all be abandoned along the highway?
This shipping and supply crisis has been going on for months. I was going to finish this post with comments regarding the intelligence of the politicians involved with the development of these issues. But there’s no reason to do so. But, enough said. This is a lawnmower forum. I’m going to...
More in the California news this morning. Link attached for article about logistics CEO toured docks. Laws in place are prohibiting stacking of empty containers any higher than two for esthetic (good looks) reasons. No place to unload new loaded freight containers...
I stand corrected. I went back to look for a reference and discovered that this happened Wednesday of last week and relates to non-union drivers.
A federal appellate court on Wednesday reversed a ruling that prevented California from enforcing a new labor law that trucking companies contend...

And just to get a couple more datas point out there….
1. In April the ninth court of appeals in Cali decided that the state law which prohibits non-union workers from working on TV and movie jobs in Cali also applies to trucking! “Owner Operators and other non-union truckers” are prohibited...
Cali is doing the same with trucks. You can’t use any freight hauling truck older than 2011 without extensive modifications. A sliding scale on age of trucks until 2035 when all diesel and gas trucks are completely banned, electric only. I’m not sure what the people in that state are going to...
I bought a new 42” Toro 75747 from Mowers Direct in June of this year and ordered the bagger at the same time. Long story short, they finally sent me the mower minus the bagger which they didn’t have and no idea when one would be in. They refunded the bagger costs. I then went on a internet...
I didn’t know that. We have three water oaks that I consider to be very non-desirable. I had five of them removed last year but wanted to keep some shade.
