Comment | I hope you've noticed the increase in class 8 fires. DPF filters burning people's belongings and livelihood up in smoke. Making it so that older trucks have to be retrofitted is going to cause death and destruction and it's really not going to improve your air quality. Your air quality has a lot to do with the trade winds bringing China's pollution to you. As a trucking company my trucks will not be going to California again and I am talking with any trucking company that will hear me to do the same. Interstate Commerce is supposed to be an even playing field across the board. Burdening trucking companies to comply with your rules that have no basis in science (since the person who wrote the rules didn't have the degrees he claimed) isn't providing for a fair and equal playing field. These new trucks are unreliable, dangerous to life and property and have poor fuel mileage. Burning more fuel per mile is what your policies have created. I hope someone with some common sense will prevail at CARB but I highly doubt it. |
