I have been an Owner/Operator for over 25 years and have lived most
of my life in California.
I own a 2001 Freightliner FLD with a C-12 Caterpillar motor.
Every tech I have contacted has cautioned me against installing the
particulate filter on my motor. The general consensus is that C-12
Caterpillar motors do not operate well with the filter.
I have about 3 years left before retirement and have no plans to
retrofit or replace current equipment.
CARB has crossed the line by interfering in interstate commerce as
specifically prohibited in the Commerce Clause of the U.S.
Constitution. CARB may be able to force intrastate carriers into
bankruptcy but have stepped outside the lines on interstate
carriers.
I sincerely hope that officials in the department come to their
senses and repeal much of this regulation.
