“All tractor-trailers and buses made before 2010 are now banned from the state’s highways. The state is generously allowing older big rigs to remain in service if their engines have been replaced with ones manufactured after 2010.
This likely won’t put many trucking companies out of business, but it will definitely drive up their costs significantly. And those increases will be passed on to recipients, leading the price of pretty much everything to go up… again.”
Comment:
First of all, its totally ridicules and makes no sense, and abnormal, to ship coffee mugs, ratchet sets and plastic toys and tv sets etc from the east coast of China, across the Pacific Ocean then across the entire USA to the east coast of the USA. Six Seven thousand miles?? Obviously the shipping costs have been artificially held down some how by gov’ts, like airline tickets, AU AG etc.
So, lets think positive. Lets hope the increased shipping costs will cause or enable cheaper domestic production, more factories near retail outlets creating millions of jobs, and put China the global vendor out of business. But that trend already started. We are taking chip needs production away from them n back to us. I can handle a $20 screwdriver from NY rather than a $4 screwdriver from China fine.
