This, sadly, is completely off base.
Newsom has proposed issuing temporary permits as there are huge backups at the LS Port with ships just waiting offshore. It actually doesn't work for several reasons including the weights the trucks are meant to haul as well as how the containers themselves are loaded.
There simply isn't enough trucking to haul the goods coming in to the USA and now CARB is just starting to limit the trucks allowed in to the state generally and the port specifically.
The EV Semi rules will make this much, much, much worse in the near term as they haul less while costing much more to acquire and operate.
Increasing the truck's max weight by 4 tons unlikely to clear out massive stacks of shipping containers. Read on for details.
