Comment | My company has a fleet of 30 plus off road diesel tractors. I have a small business with 20 employees. I update my tractors every 3-7 years. My recommendation is that you regulate emissions standards with the manufacturers, not the end users. This will distrubute the costs gradually over time and it will filter out older equipment automatically. Also, if you give incentives for buyers to upgrade equipment it will help tremendously. As we buy new equipment, over a short period of time, our fleet will be compliant. We are burdened with excessive fuel costs, material costs, labor costs, and taxes. Small businesses need to survive to keep our ecomony strong. Overtaxing and regulation will bring us to our death. It is not useless to propitiate everyone. We just have to be creative and forbearing. Thank you for your time. |
