CARB is at it again

This might be a silly question, but why would mileage matter? Is it efficiency? 800K, 13 and 18 yrs... Wonder where those numbers come from. I bet somewhere in the #### region.

 

I believe this was part of the deal brokered between Moonbeam and the ATA, as well as a few other trucking groups to raise the gas tax.

Why do people tolerate this? All their emissions and the stupid kingpin law. Is the money in California so good that it is worth it? I for one would never haul anything there. Seems like if all the truckers told them to F off they would suddenly find themselves in a heck of a pickle and would cave on this nonsense. I am all for taking care of our earth but it is retarded to think doing one thing in a single state is going to make any difference to the earth when all the other states are doing other things.

 

No point in asking why people tolerate it. Because, no matter how well known, and how bad the conditions are, there will always be a number of folks who will jump on the bandwagon. It's to make money. That is why they tolerate it.
Look, any state that would bring back that slime ball governor again, just has to be populated by total idiots.

 

My question though is the money in California better? I have never hauled anything there I don't know. Seems like there is enough freight elsewhere where you don't have to deal with these morons. Now if freight their pays a premium I could see people doing it. I have one customer who has a TON of red tape to deal with and pays SLOW (90-120 days) but they pay nearly double the rate of anyone else so I deal with it.

 

Let me put it this way. I have no idea about what freight pays in Californicatia. I was always a company driver, and never saw a penny difference between Californy and any other state. Of course, that isn't quite true, since CA has that idiotic 55 MPH speed for trucks. Or they did back then anyway. So it did actually cost me money to drive in Cali.

 

Cali will never get rid of the 55
