Comment | we own one 18-wheeler, 2007 with a 2006 engine. how can this rule be passed to make a truck owner be required to spend $20,000 for a pm filter or else risk a fine? where is the help from the state of california in the form of a grant or voucher? in today's economy, people are barely paying their truck payments and house payments. we pay enough income tax, heavy use tax, dmv registration fees, and major insurance. how can the state just expect the small mom and pop organizations or one-man owner/operators to cough up another $20,000? the hardship is next to impossible! we complied with the december 2013 deadline by putting a down payment on a filter. my parents loaned us the money! we cannot get a loan for anymore money. we can't be the only owner/operators in california that this is happening to. if CARB wants this filter in place, they should make it possible for all of us to comply. we need help... |
