Personal Impact
Life & Work
Small trucking companies and fleet operators face a mixed impact. On one hand, they no longer need to comply with California's stricter (and more expensive) emission standards for heavy-duty trucks, which could lower vehicle costs. On the other hand, businesses that already invested in cleaner equipment to meet California's rules may not recoup those costs, and the removal of stricter standards could create market uncertainty.
