ABOUT
Trucking plays a critical role in California’s economy, with more than $2 billion in transportation-related revenue each year.
Nearly 80 percent of California communities depend exclusively on trucking to get the things they need most. Delivering the vast majority of everyday items -- food, health care supplies, furniture, fuel and transportation, water removal and so much more – trucking is critical to the California economy, to businesses, to schools, to families.
With individual owner-operators, small family businesses and large international carriers, trucking fuels the California economy and keeps our daily life moving forward.
