Subject | Upset about the possibility of extending phase in of NON Compliant on-higheway trucks |
Comment | I am reading that CARB is considering extending the dates for people that are still non compliant. That is not only unfair to the Truckers that have paid attention and worked hard to be compliant, but you are placing installers in a very difficult position also. First off we have been trying to keep these folks current with all the changes that have been going on, and explaining to them in good conscience we can only tell them what is current today. When CARB changed the mileage for Low Use Construction vehicles I had 4 people cancel there orders, and I had product on the shelf and paid for waiting to get them installed. Now I have product that we have purchased and need to find a home for. Then to add one more point to that thought, back in Dec when a customer called to cancel he told me that he was told by someone at CARB that I should have told him, and implied that I was taking advantage of him. Now with the implemantation of the Good Faith Agreement I have a large number of these DPF's waiting for people to get installed, how many of those people do I expect to cancel as well. This latest issue only confirms ALL the speculation that CARB could not get this done to start with, and that is why people have done nothing. The economy is only part of the issue, the non commitment from staff is the other issue. |
