I, LIKE I AM SURE MANY OTHER FLEET OPERATORS, WOULD LIKE TO COMPLY
WITH THE CARB RULES AS I AM SURE THAT ALL OF US CAN SEE THE
BENEFITS OF CLEAN AIR. AND MOST EVERYONE I KNOW WOULD LIKE TO HAVE
A FLEET OF VEHICLES THAT ARE NEW FOR NOT ONLY CARB COMPLIANCE BUT
FOR HIGHER MPG AND MORE RELIABILITY. HOWEVER THE ECONOMIC REALITY
MAKES THIS A VERY TOUGH GOAL TO ACCOMPLISH. WE ARE JUST EXITING
WHAT HAS BEEN A VERY PROLONGED DEPRESSION, EXPENSES ARE HIGH AND
RATES REMAIN DEPRESSED. BANKS HAVE TIGHTNED THEIR LENDING RULES FOR
NEW EQUIPMENT. MOST OF OUR VEHICLES ARE LOW MILAGE BECAUSE AS A HHG
MOVER MUCH OF OUR TIME IS SPENT LOADING AND UNLOADING. I WOULD LIKE
TO SEE A LONGER PHASE TIME ALLOWANCE OF AN ADDITIONAL TWO TO THREE
YEARS.
