Comment | I think this is a bad idea. CARB has already laid down the law as to what us carriers are supposed to do to be compliant. So we spend a lot of money and time as well as resources to pull this off, and you decide to extend the rules out to very people who ignored your regulations. They are not going to ever get compliant. Now, those of us that followed the rules and became compliant, are not going to be able to raise our rates that were going to pay for the investment we had to do to be compliant with the new CARB regulations. Our economy is based on supply and demand, and with the new CARB regulations, this would create a supply issue that would allow us to raise our rates to pay for your rules. Now I won't be able to raise my rates and pay for all of this new technology you made us get. You go thru with this decision, and the very people that complied may go out of business trying to make the payments on this new equipment. We qualify for four new trucks under the Prop 1B funding program, and now I can't afford to do it because you are going to change your rules to accommodate the very people that ignored your regulations in the first place. I will now not be going thru with my four new trucks thru Prop 1B now because you are going to let these people continue to operate. I won't be able to raise my rates to pay for this new equipment. I simply will not be able to afford to stick my financial neck out there, and run myself out of business. This is defeating the purpose and direction of which CARB intended it to be. It simply makes no sense. I feel like I am a yo-yo on a string and CARB is the head yo-yo in charge that is making these absurd decisions. Make up your mind people and stick with a program. If I ran my business the way you run yours, I would have been out of business by now. I wish common sense was more common in your industry. |
