As I wrote early last year:

If any profession represents the independent spirit, grit, and ingenuity that helped forge America, it is that of the Trucker. Truckers are the American Dream personified, and are representative of the family business and passing down a legacy. But today, California truckers are engaged in a pitched battle against the state’s AB5 law, a piece of legislation that threatens to do away with their way of life. //

Now, Californians can look forward to higher food prices because of all those “union” rates and protections being tacked on, as well as the limited supply of highly skilled truckers. Don’t be surprised if more grocery chains start to shutter their stores, //

Hardest hit: construction. Expect it to become more expensive, and move at an even more glacial pace. //

I'm hearing the sound of California's ports contracting from the east coast. You think construction will be hard hit? You have any idea how many trucks move through the ports every day?
