He's got a point, WCP. It would in effect be asking other states to dedicate resources to enforce California's law. And in this age of tight budgets, that's unlikely.

Ain't it crazy how that works? July, as far back as I remember, has always been a slow month for van freight. So I always plan to work as little as possible then, if any at all. This year the phones were ringing off the hook according to friends. I was getting some too and ignored them. Ready to rock-n-roll by late August and all of a sudden nothing hahaha ######! Lesson learned and I should know this already. Roll with it when it's there and park when it's not. Planning to take "xx" amount of days off because" - several months or a year in advance - because conventional thinking "it's ALWAYS normally a bad time to truck anyways" can bite you. The spurts and dead times seem off. Jan and Feb were very busy for me and as long as I can remember those were normally bad months for van too. With hindsight that should have been a clue about things to come the rest of this year. It's always 20/20...

I think the widening of the Panama Canal is supposed to be completed in 2014. Some of the newer/bigger container ships will then be able to pass through the canal and haul those containers to a destination closer to the customer, thus bypassing CA.
This could help offset the possible reduction in available trucks in CA caused by the CARB laws.
The result could be no increase in CA freight rates. Or even a decline in rates. -
