Well the problem is most of the garbage shipped here from China and Asia currently flows through CA ports like Long Beach.
I guess you could ship it to Seattle or expand rail use but you are adding to shipping costs massively.
If you have to go through the Panama Canal to FL, TX or GA you’ve added a ton of time and fuel costs to your shipping.
Now the strange part here is that this would make US production seem more attractive if we had the right president in the White House, but I guess it remains to be seen how it will play out?
Possibly just electric semis running to the NV border where the freight is handed off to ICE semis for cross country shipping?

It’s not so much to, but from
If I’m a trucking company, I’m trying to pay off some cartels and developing a port in Mexico on the Baja Peninsula

Hope cali sticks to their guns and don't back track on this. It should blow up quite nicely in their face. Some of these mandates are so f'd up that it makes you wonder if they are actively trying to bring down the govt/economy/usa. With the way politics are, I think they care more about everyone else other than the American citizens.

The problem is that something like 60pct of all consumer goods imported from come through LA or Long Beach or SFO Bay. This is going to be an economic nightmare for all of use when the available stock of TV's and microwaves is completely f***ed because there are no electric trucks to haul them out of ports. Of course prices will go up and inflation will gain steam becuase, if you can't get a TV, you offer more for a tv.

The problem is all those Asian goods we receive in the port of LA, not what we send there.

My very first thought. The people that make up these laws in California are fricking nuts.
Of course I'm sure they didn't factor in the additional cost of products being shipped in and out of that state when this mandate goes into effect.
Then let them pay $9 for a loaf of bread and $15 for a dozen eggs.

Or open up a warehouse 5 miles from the servicing ports, rail yards, and distribution centers and let diesel trucks drop their trailer there and use electric to move it to the final destination. Then use electric to move it from the port\railyard to the warehouse where diesels can move it the rest of the way.
