Comment | I would like to comment on the CARB law that makes it illegal to operate older trucks in California. We operate a 1996 log truck wih an electronic engine. We live about 10 miles north of the Oregon/California border. While our miles operated in California vary from year to year, we generally do not run too many miles in California. From July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013, we ran less that 3000 miles in California. We do not operate in California enough to justify installing a PM filter and certainly not enough to justify buying a newer truck. We only operate in Modoc, Siskyou and Del Norte counties, the three which border Oregon. We have been licensed for California ever since we bought our first truck in 1993. We think it is very unfair that after operating trucks in California for over 20 years that we are no longer welcome solely because of the model year of our truck. We don't expect you to change the rules for us, but we would hope that you would create an exception or permit for those of us that operate only in the counties that border Oregon. These three counties are all sparsely populated and they have no pollution problems that we are aware of. Thank you for your time, Sincerely, Bill Newell Bill and Sherry Newell and Sons 4678 Cross Road Klamath Falls, OR 97603 phone: 541 892-0455 |
