CARB & RFID tag

I get what you're saying, and I'll take your word for it as I've never been to California, but I was talking about trucks from a hobbyist perspective. (Which I am aware doesn't really help the guys making their living with trucks)

Say you want to restore a truck for going to shows with, or maybe you want to build one for racing (sled pulling for example). The best starting point is a truck that isn't rusted.

So if California has banned older trucks from the port, and most of the best loads come from the port, any truck that frequented the port is not as useful to its owner. Whether the truck is replaced or not, he is likely to sell it, therefore flooding the used truck market with older, non-compliant trucks. With a saturated market, prices should go down and one could purchase an older truck that isn't as rusted as one that had spend it's life in the Northeast.

Now that I think about it, California could become a source for any truck older than 2007, as long as you aren't going to use it for California Port work.

Now, if I happened to have a compliant truck, and lived near such a port, I would certainly take advantage of the marshaling yard work.

That's the theory anyway.

 

That's what I said. Isn't it?

Let me re-check.

In any case, that's what I meant.

 

Yeah, that's it; with a saturated market, prices go down. Supply versus demand.

 

Oh, my bad. I'm used to being disagreed with, and keyboards are terrible with tone.


It's all good.

 

Have I lost my sanity now that I've had an argument with myself?

 

Great movie, better book.
I am a Chuck Palahniuk fan- he's got a different, though twisted way of looking at the world.

We have just lost cabin pressure.
