I don't think the first will fly with the current DC admin as trucking is regulated by the interstate commerce commission and I remember reading that truck are allowed to operate anywhere as long as they are registered anywhere in US, Canada, or Mexico. If CA tries to pull the registration, the companies will just move out and register in another state. Around here almost all tractors & trailers are registered in NC as it is a one time fee small yearly fee (like $10/yr).

They would need to wait until someone else is in DC to move it forward.

I want clean air but there is a difference in working with people for the common good and being a government thug.

 

I think Jalopnik is not fully translating the gist of this. It sounds to me like you can do basic repairs on your own car in your own garage, but if you work on it outside, it can't be immobile for more than 24 hours. Sounds like a common HOA restriction. But I agree... What are "basic" repairs? What does replacing springs, shocks, struts, control arms, and stabilizer bars, upgrading to Cobra brakes and SS lines, and replacing my clutch constitute? All this was done with common hand tools, non-commercial impact and air tools, a regular jack, and jack stands in my residential, 2-car garage.. What about my Vortech install? Heck, replacing my valve covers and spark plug wires??? None of these projects employed any "chemicals" other than brake cleaner (allowed by their quoted statement), nor any specialized tools. HOWEVER, according to the law, I'd probably be SOL. How many "average Joes" own feeler gauges, a timing light, or a torque wrench? (Stuff I've had for decades, my dad has, and his dad had, too.) The discussion at Grassroots Motorsports is interesting.

So the commercial trucking companies move their bases of operation out of Kalifornia, and the businesses there then pay more for transportation due to increased distances of travel billed on a per-mile basis. Pollution levels stay basically the same (or increase due to longer distances travelled), tax income for the state and local entities goes down, and the businesses (and thereby the customers) pay more for goods. Sounds like a solid plan to me. I get the concept, and agree with the idea that something needs to be done to cut pollution, but this doesn't sound like the right route.

Finished this damn wall tonight... Now I've got to figure out how I am going to box around the duct work and water pipes.

 

Boxing that stuff in looks like it will be fairly easy to do. What are you doing for the ceiling?

 

Can’t believe this post is still going. However, my gmc is totaled and I’m looking at coming back to a f-150

 

Welcome back, to the poor side of town, lol. Sorry about the Jimmy getting totaled.

Saturday will make this thread 3 years old. Red is still around and gets a new heart this month. I think we have covered the gambit while you've been MIA.

 

Sounds like they just put a lot of Autozones and the like out of business.

 

The article says it's for vehicles weighing more than 14,000 lbs. Do any HD's weigh that much?

Vehicles weighing between 14,000 pounds and 26,000 pounds are also subject to the regulations, and must meet the following compliance schedule:

• 2004 and older must comply by Jan. 1, 2020
• 2005-2007 must comply by Jan. 1, 2021
• 2008-2010 must comply by Jan. 1, 2023

 

Sheetrock, and then texturing it. I decided that I am going to do everything but mudding on this. That is the part that I always get hung up on. I've been mudding the same room for almost 2 years now, and have another large room that is ready for mud. Those guys that do it professionally will knock it out in a couple days... LOL.

 

Double post.... go to the next post.
