Subject | Proposed Regulation for Portable Equipment |
Comment | As a small business owner of an Equipment Rental Business, I am concerned about the regulations that have been implemented and that are proposed. We will be forced to close our business if we have to pay high fees to register our equipment and/or purchase new equipment. In a small town, we have been able to remain in business by buying used equipment and keeping it well maintained. However, it is all older and does not meet your proposed regulations. We cannot afford to buy brand new equipment, and still make a profit to live on. Some things only rent seasonally, other things on a regular basis. This may force many business to sell old equipment and then none of it will be worth anything at all, so we lose again. There must a happy medium that can protect the air quality and yet let us remain in business. Between your program, DMV fees, Insurance premiums, OSHA, State Compensation rates and fuel prices, we are in danger of no profit and closing our business. I thought California was trying to make the state business friendly. It does not seem like it to a small business in a small town in the Sacramento Valley. Please consider all the implications of your proposals, not just the huge contractors and jobs that have unlimited resources. Thank you Louis Davies, Corning Rentals, Corning Ca. |
