Comment | Dear CARB, Mr. Ehoff writes a very compelling letter and good argument as to why CARB should not allow any changes. All of us in trucking are in the business for economic gain. Unfortunatley for Mr. Ehoff he got stuck with the Clearaire Long mile and likewise I would be upset too. I agree with Mr Ehoff. Clearaire customers should be compensated. However CARB is not back pedalling when trying to "improve" the rules resulting in more compliance of air quality regulations. There are comments from instsallers claiming large inventory and cancelled orders. If that's the case they would lower their prices. They too are in it for economic gain. The entire trucking community is aghast at the Truck and Bus rule. Sure there are gross polluters which I believe the majority of us despise. But to all of us from an operational standpoint this rule is less about air quality and more about staying in business (please do not take that statement out of context. Trucking IS pro clean air and vehicle by virtue of the posted comments), and because you implemented it, it is your responsibility to make compliance feasible for ALL of trucking. We believe it is a tangled web. Could you believe that DPF retrofit is uncalled for in the majority of trucks? Can CARB single out gross polluters by focusing on individual roadside enforcement? Those are not the points of your proposed rule change. It is for you to bring ALL truck owners into legal status. . Sincerely, Tim Trotter |
