Comment | I own a 2003 Freightliner Speciality Vehicle that I purchased from an RV dealer for pulling my personal 5th Wheel RV trailer. It was sold as a 4 door heavy duty pickup with a single rear axle and GVWR of 31,000 lbs. This truck is labeled NOT FOR HIRE and is only used for personal use and not commercial use. My standard pickup truck was not able to safely haul my family and RV trailer so I upgraded to this truck 6+ years ago. I drive it 4 to 5,000 miles a year for RV purposes. It is like new with 32,000 miles. I have no other trucks and would be considered a single truck fleet by CARB as I understand it. To sell the truck or spend $10,000 for DPF on seems extreme and very costly considering the econonmy and the fragilness of my job right now. Please reconsider the definition of personal use or a reasonable mileage exception, or RV use exception. The vehicle is built by Sportchassis Specialty Vehicles and is used to tow horses or heavy 5th wheel trailers. Thank you for your consideration. Brian Glidden |
