To whom it may concern, my name is Jeremy Vannest owner of
Vannest trucking Inc. out of Hilmar, California and my concerns
regarding the new carb regulations for seaport and Intermodal in
California are very disturbing because I know that I am a small
business owner and will not be able to continue with my business
due to costs to upgrade to a zero emissions vehicle semi truck. It
was always my dream to become an owner operator. My journey started
in 2014 when I first got my class a license. I worked at a propane
company for a few years then I hauled milk tankers for more
experience and then that's when I started getting into the Seaport
, I did that for approximately one year to get to see port
experience and then I cashed out my retirement and sold several
vehicles and ATVs off-road four wheelers to gain the money to
purchase a truck to start my dream job as being an owner operator,
and to work Monday through Friday and support a good life for my
family. Now that this new regulation is coming into affect it is
going to be really hard to keep going , your decision to do this to
millions of truck drivers in California. It is going to hurt
everybody severely and I pray and hope that you will not consider
moving forward with this proposal. Thank you and have a blessed
day.
