SubjectUpset about the possibility of extending phase in of NON Compliant on-higheway trucks
Comment
I am reading that CARB is considering extending the dates for
people that are still non compliant. That is not only unfair to the
Truckers that have paid attention and worked hard to be compliant,
but you are placing installers in a very difficult position also.
First off we have been trying to keep these folks current with all
the changes that have been going on, and explaining to them in good
conscience we can only tell them what is current today. When CARB
changed the mileage for Low Use Construction vehicles I had 4
people cancel there orders, and I had product on the shelf and paid
for waiting to get them installed. Now I have product that we have
purchased and need to find a home for. Then to add one more point
to that thought, back in Dec when a customer called to cancel he
told me that he was told by someone at CARB that I should have told
him, and implied that I was taking advantage of him. Now with the
implemantation of the Good Faith Agreement I have a large number of
these DPF's waiting for people to get installed, how many of those
people do I expect to cancel as well. This latest issue only
confirms ALL the speculation that CARB could not get this done to
start with, and that is why people have done nothing. The economy
is only part of the issue, the non commitment from staff is the
other issue.
