Two truckers have filed a lawsuit challenging Minnesota’s gun laws, saying the state won’t let them carry their firearms as they drive its roads, even though they’re legally licensed to publicly carry their weapons in their home states.

Minnesota does have reciprocity with 20 states, but doesn’t recognize permits from others, including gun-friendly states such as Texas, Florida and Georgia. Residents of those states must obtain a Minnesota-specific permit, leave their weapons inoperable while driving across the state, or risk prosecution for carrying.

The Biden administration on Friday announced a regulation designed to turbocharge sales of electric or other zero-emission heavy vehicles, from school buses to cement mixers, as part of its multifront attack on global warming.

The Environmental Protection Agency projects the new rule could mean that 25 percent of new long-haul trucks, the heaviest on the road, and 40 percent of medium-size trucks, like box trucks and landscaping vehicles, could be nonpolluting by 2032. Today, fewer than 2 percent of new heavy trucks sold in the United States fit that bill.

The Environmental Protection Agency today announced a final rule the agency said sets stronger standards to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from heavy-duty vehicles beginning in model year 2027. Major trucking organizations reacted, saying the industry has already done plenty to reduce pollution, and the new rules will be expensive, and overly burdensome, especially for small trucking businesses.

The Biden administration finalized long-awaited regulations targeting emissions generated from heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks and buses, the latest salvo in President Biden's sweeping climate agenda.

The U.S.’s biggest commercial truck and engine builders are betting that the freight industry is ready to swap diesel fuel pumps for battery chargers.

The diesel engine maker Cummins and the truck builders Daimler Truck and Paccar plan to build a $2 billion battery factory in Mississippi to produce batteries for commercial trucks. The plant, which the companies will operate as a joint venture, is expected to begin producing battery cells in 2027.

Two months ago, 30,000 truckers at Yellow lost their jobs when one of the nation’s oldest and largest trucking companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Last week, Convoy, the digital freight broker that was supposed to reinvent the wheel and disrupt the trucking industry in a positive way, also abruptly shuttered its doors.

Rick McQuaide, owner of several freight lines based in Pennsylvania and Florida, says the underlying problem in the trucking industry is a warning sign for our economy.

Pennsylvania's Peter Brothers Trucking delivers goods all across America. Owner Brian Wanner says Pennsylvania bureaucrats now are driving him out of his home state.

"We have no say," complains Wanner in my new video. "We can't do anything about it."

"No say" because Pennsylvania's new rules don't come from Pennsylvania. They come from California.

"I don't want to be anything like California!" complains Wanner.

The California Senate passed a bill banning heavy-duty autonomous vehicles on state highways without a driver despite Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) diverting from his party by opposing the legislation.

Assembly Bill 316 passed on Monday in the state Senate in a 36-2 vote and is headed to Newsom’s desk for a signature. Driverless trucks that weigh 10,000 pounds to 80,000 pounds must have a human safety operator on board if Newsom signs the legislation, a blow to the autonomous truck industry.

Yellow Corp., a once-dominant US trucking company, has filed for bankruptcy as it winds down its 99-year-old business that employs 30,000 workers.

The Nashville-based logistics provider announced Sunday it had filed for Chapter 11 relief in the US Bankruptcy Court for the district of Delaware.

“It is with profound disappointment that Yellow announces that it is closing after nearly 100 years in business,” CEO Darren Hawkins said in a statement.
