Subject | Proposed admendments to CARB Truck and Bus Regulations |
Comment | Hello C.A.R.B., First of all let me say I am very disappointed in the way CARB has handle the Truck and Bus Regulation. As you well know the business climate in CA. has been dismal the last 6 or 7 years, and as a single heavy truck owner its been tough going, but wanting to comply with the new regs, I was reluctently willing to my part. So in Dec. 2013 I had a DPF installed at a cost of over 20K. Also there was no funding available in my air district even though it continues to remain a Nox restricted area, so the install was all out pocket for my business. My complaint with CARB is that you keep extending compliance deadlines and changing the regs and many truck owners taking advantage of this and not putting there equipment in compliance while I have, putting me at a financial disadvantage and try to compete for business! Your proposed changes says that CARB is planning to give credits for early compliance giving truck owners till 1/01/2023 for final compliance, well hello! your not giving me anything as I took the small fleet option for single truck owners and I already have till 2023 for final compliance! How about giving some of the cost of filter back to the small fleets so we can stay in business! If CARB does go through with the new changes I plan to join a class action lawsuit against CARB for financial degregation to my business which hundreds of truckers statewide have already signed on to. |
