The state of California passed a an emissions law last year that forbids any truck manufactured before 2001 from operating in the State of CA. This took about 50% of the truckers, including owner operators off the road due to the exorbitant fines levied against them. The Federal Government had nothing to do with this. They could step in however and force CA to suspend this law to clear the backlog but probably never will.
