This plan would only incentivize trucks to have a big enough gas tank to drive from Nevada to LA and back. The entire cost would pass directly to consumers.
Before you think that's isn't possible, it's not uncommon for a semi to have a range of 2000 miles.[1]

- bsder 8y agoI suspect the issue with truck pollution at the LA ports is idling rather than driving.
