California is the 3rd largest state in the U.S. but has the highest population in the country. As a coastal state, California's trucking industry plays a crucial role in the national economy. The California Air Resources Board estimates approximately 100,000 drayage trucks operate statewide, with nearly 20,000 frequently servicing ports and rail yards. The efficient movement of commodities is critically important to the economy and employment in all major sectors, from agriculture to manufacturing (including finished goods, energy, construction, and retailing) to the service industries.
