EVERYTHING you eat, wear, and use comes on a truck at some point.
Maybe you would be better served if you drove to CA for veggies, to Houston to fuel your car, etc.... trucks pay a LOT of taxes for roads.
The roads are not built for what they are allowed to carry. They cause enormous damage to trucks that are serving you. Yes, lower weights would help the roads, but also increase the total number on the road.
Putting hard working people out of work is not just stupid, it's "california stupid". The older trucks will be gone in a few years due to wearing out.
These laws are just mean.

Walking isn't a lost art: one must, by some means, get to the garage.
