I am a single-truck owner and only haul livestock, mostly during
the peak seasons when ranchers are moving their livestock to and
from grazing areas. When you passed your original ruling in 2008, I
made adjustments to my business knowing I would need to become
compliant to the ARB, and made the necessary, albeit expensive
transition to a new truck even when my older model truck was still
fairly new, at only 8 years old. I have complied with California's
ARB. I do not understand why you would penalize your faithful
California businessmen who have complied with the Regulation in
favor of all non-compliant truckers. While we do feel that
Not-For-Hire cattle haulers should remain exempt, those of us who
haul cattle for the Ranchers and Dairymen of California feel all
trucks need to be compliant.
