Subject | All trucks older than 1997 should be banned at LA and LB ports ASAP |
Comment | As both owner of a drayage trucking company and a long time Long Beach residents. I strongly request your board to ban all drayage trucks which are older than 1997 ASAP. 90% trucks older than 1997 will have about 1 million mileages which are impossible to be maintained to normal safety standard. They are extremely dangerous to drive on the freeway and extremely polluted in the area. Those companies and owner operators, who have such old and dangerous equipments, barely maintain their equipments to lower operation cost. Companies like mine who are intending to use newer and less polluted equipments are focused to be at inferior position on the market place. When we are trying to make sure every truck we operate is safe and minimum pollution, there are thousands dangerous and deadly polluted trucks running at ports. The ban should be effect within months not years. Old trucks pollution is poisoning our kids and ourselves!!! Please do something about it!!! |
