California's trucking industry is facing significant challenges due to the cancellation of thousands of commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) held by immigrant drivers. This action has severely impacted companies like Gillson Trucking Inc., which has experienced substantial financial losses as a result. The issue is particularly acute within the Sikh community, which comprises about 35% of California's commercial drivers. The Trump administration's crackdown on immigrant drivers has intensified these difficulties, with new federal regulations potentially affecting up to 61,000 truck drivers in the state.
