Subject | ARB BOARD MEMEBERS/ LIVESTOCK HAULING COMPLIANCE |
Comment | As the owner of K.Rocha Trucking,a small,Livestock Hauling and family owned business of my wife and I. I strongly oppose the amendment to make all Livestock Carriers exempt thru 2023. I have been in business,based in San Joaquin County for over 5 years. I have lived in Merced County for 51 year. Being a tax payer and upstanding citizen, when the ARB BOARD advised me that I had to become complaint in 2013 I did. I purchased a new 2014 Peterbilt for my Cattle Hauling Business. I'm a single running truck operation and this is my livelihood. I was forced to comply with California laws and ARB regulations to keep my business going. It is not right or fair to reverse these regulations for Livestock Carriers. Every Livestock Carrier I know has already complied with the New ARB Compliance Laws in California. My cattle hauling business brings revenue to California. My customer's are based in California. To extend non-com pliancy thru 2023 would be devastating to the financial well being of many California family owned companies, even forcing some out of business. HOW AMERICAN IS THAT. I am sure you are very aware that owning a business in California has greater expenses then other states. But I chose to live here and support California. NOW CALIFORNIA NEEDS TO SUPPORT EVERY LIVESTOCK HAULING BUSINESS THAT SUPPORTED THEM WHEN THEY COMPLIED TO THEIR NEW ARB LAWS. Sincerely, Kevin Rocha DBA:K.Rocha Trucking |
