All three of the things you posted have been all over the mainstream "smart person" media, and they are somewhat legit, but misinterpreted. The first one is doesn't "ban" owner-operators, but rather it bans people who lease trucks from being classed as independent contractors instead of employees.
Basically you have to actually own the truck to be an "owner", you can't sign some predatory lease and be an "independent contractor" with a company that you then basically bid jobs from. Edit: To clarify, in some cases the truck owner sometimes also "leases" their truck to the company, which is basically like doing Uber.
The other 2 are simply environmental laws being enforced. Truck companies are whining about it because California has the geographical monopoly and can throw weight around. They've had a long time to prepare, they're just cheap, stupid, entitled and lazy like all businesses.

Would this have been a legacy of prop 22? If so, I almost can't believe how cynical the rulers are. They get their Christmas wishlist satisfied with the passing of prop 22, then go around and blame prop 22 for the supply chain damage -- fucking unbelievable.
No, it's from AB5 which is a California house bill that's actually what inspired Prop 22 in the first place (Prop 22 exempts gig workers from AB5, trucking companies don't get an exception which is what's making people freak out).
I haven’t researched these specific things but there are supply chain shortages all over the world. To lay the blame at the feet of workers for wanting better condition / pay (which they achieve through licensing) doesn’t satisfy me.
Even if they cut trucker’s pay and allowed anyone to truck, I bet there would still be shortages and the capitalists would say something like “This is because nurses are getting paid too much!”
It is a good thing. No one is banning owner operators. California is banning an exploitive model that's very common in trucking where "owners" actually lease their trucks under frequently predatory terms, and then they bid jobs from the truck companies instead of being an employee paid for their routes.
The trucking companies are Big Mad because California has such a natural monopoly based on geography, and now their scam is being busted.
Red states play chicken with abortion rights, well guess what, those big blue states are gonna fuck up Derwin Pride's shitheel scam leasing 18-wheelers at buy-here-pay-here rates.
That is not at all a normal thing. Only special extremely time sensitive stuff is delivered that way. It's so expensive and inefficient, it's only worth the cost for stuff like some machine a production line needs to keep running.
The thing about them not buying trucks at the moment might be real though but not for the reasons they give. A shortage of microchips means significantly longer delivery times than usual on automobiles.

Drayage is the oldest scam in the book. Literally renting work and paying to make someone money.
Anyone displaced from dreyage work should absolutely try to join the union and get real work with benefits.

This is simply not how the vast majority of goods are moved on roads. You are doing reddit debatebro shit right now.
Not that an F-150 Lightning is a 3/4 ton truck anyway, your entire logic chain is busted here.
