CARB & RFID tag

No I didnt miss that your leased to mercer and all i was saying is that what I read is all I know but I will say this we ALL will wait and see what happens in the next few years

 

You are correct. All this is nothing but pure speculation. Not one of us know exactly what will happen. Hell, California may even come to it's senses when they get those fools out of office..... But that could be just wishful fantasy dreaming on my part.

 

What if it really happened they all got the boot

 

I thought Cal. was already tough on old stuff like emmissions, smoke etc. So what now? You can't get a truck into the Port based on it's age?

Do that in Houston and you'll shut down the Port !

 

The goal Mr. Beast ( the C.C. Port ) is to be ready for the widening of Panama Canal ( completion 2013 ). This will cut the sailing time and costs for ship lines dramatically. All those big container trains running from LA to Houston will be gone. Sealand /Maersk have several deep draft ( 4000 unit I believe ) ships that can't call on Houston because of the channel draft and the canal restrictions. That will end however Houston ( Barbour's Cut ) is already at max and Bayport is getting there. POHA just bought land in Galveston and has holdings in Texas City and of course agreements with C.C. to share expansion.

If you've been near the ports here the you have seen the junk pulling containers. These boys have very little equipment under 10 years old. Anything like CARB would wipe them out. There's not enough revenue to even consider running anything decent. The locals are lucky to gross 6k a month. It's just not there. The Dallas rate for a flip is stagnant. Hasn't moved in years or so the carrier says BUT....99% of the carriers here want you to flip Dallas and change steamship lines all for one way money and that's b.s.! Their getting paid for that mty. back I promise.

So...... should be interesting.......

 

The side that wants to go to CA and buy old trucks. Unfortunately this side seldom sees the reality of account balances, only thinking of the possibilities, endless possibilities.

 

Right there with you on this I know a guy that sells trucks in Apple Valley and he is trying to move as many right now because of the new regs coming on in Cali

 

Does he have a sales lot? Or is he a trucking business?
