Subject | new emission trucks and mandates |
Comment | On the new trucks I see at least 20 or more 2010 to 2014 all makes of trucks setting along side the Highways every trip to CA. Either waiting for a Service truck or Tow truck it is all from the new emission's on the trucks. I have taken the time and asked the people who work on all the trucks they all say the same thing it is not working the cost is 30 percent higher to own and the do not last. Engine failer any where from 240,000 to as low as 123,000 miles. Salesmen of all makes have told me a single truck operator will go broke not because anything they do wrong it is the trucks the down time will Bankrupt them. Most of all the rates are not high enough to afford a new truck and NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE A CHANCE ON A 07 TO 2014. The CEO's of the trucking manufactures say everything is OK it isn't. We are fine with New tech. coming out but mandating it is wrong and as the Supreme Court said No local or State Goverment can mandate or regulate or put a undue financial burden on motor carriers. State's it in the Constitution of the United States. We stand by that let it come in like all new emission on cars have the old will leave the new will take over in time As of now the new is not working it needs time to find out why.this type has been proven wrong in large truck engine's before |
