As a livestock carrier since 1935, we have been in compliance to
all State & Federal mandates as they come into effect. We were all
given proper time to comply with CARB's rules. We have spent
approximately $1,500,000 with no help to comply. Some units were
replaced before the scheduled time.
We are not against a cattleman that owns his own truck, not for
hire, to be exempt for a certain lengthen of time in the future.
There is not a shortage of trucks. The cattleman need to schedule
ahead of time and spread out their shipments. 
As for out of state trucks, the majority of the fleets are CARB
compliant and the puller is doing the same.
I believe if the CARB rules are not followed and the non-compliant
trucks are exempt they are going to undermine the financial
security of the companies that have complied. The vast majority of
livestock carriers have complied.
I hope these comments from the oldest livestock carrier in CA will
help you make your decision so we can continue being in business.
Thank you,
Ed Rocha
