Comment | Dear CARB, I feel you are moving forward with your implementation by virtue of your own staffs recommendations. There is no predatory rate cutting as posters would like you to believe. If rate cutting by non compliant 1-3 truck operators having lower costs was true, the fleets would not historically sell off their older equipment. No one fleet is in total compliance. Those large fleets and others who have BEGUN to comply have done so but I'm sure the incentives and grants hurried them. Most of them are able to replace equipment at a faster pace than 1-3 truck fleets. One to three trucks ARE compliant by being registered in TRUCRS. Efforts are being made. I for one have spent $7,000.00 this March 2014 on engine repairs to bring my equipment into operating parameters of installing a filter. The DPF will be detrimental if your turbo, cam, cooling system etc. is not good. That point is conveniently overlooked when the cost of a filter is calculated. We are not a bunch of outlaws. One to three truck operators are not ignoring you. We need the same opportunities you granted others. Sincerely, Tim Trotter |
