Comment | Our company has been compliant with CARB. In order to be compliant we have replaced 91% of our 45 truck fleet over the last 4-years. We along with every other trucking company in this state knew we had to have a plan to reach compliance. We in good faith believed we would be able to compete in the market place as long as everyone in the industry had to become compliant at the same time. We never qualified for Prop. 1B money in this process. Every purchase transaction between Trade-In value and purchase price of a new vehicle cost us an additional $25.000.00 per transaction. This is an additional cost that can only be recovered through rate increases. The reality is that a rate increase is not based on a unilateral decision on our part. We can only increase rates as the market will bear and giving others an extension will only put further pressure to hold rates down. This will ultimately have the effect of putting compliant companies out of business and enabling those who did not comply a free pass into our share of the market when rates are able to increase. Please do not allow those who are not compliant be allowed to have any extension through any further delays. That puts every compliant company at risk. |
