#1 Shutting down trucking schools as 'non-essential' during the Covid hysteria? Having an education establishment designed to feed universities and colleges and not vocational jobs? Increase micro-management by regulations? Drive independent owner-operators off your state highways? Make fuel more expensive cutting profit margins?

#2 Some time ago, I read an artical that said the ports in California had new emission requirements for trucks and that about 1/3 of the trucks servicing the ports would not comply, so could not work the ports.
