As an owner operator of a livestock truck, At the age of 62 my wife
and I had to decide in December if we we're going to stay in
business or retire from driving. We decided I would like to work a
few more years so we invested in complying with this law.
We had waited until the last moment to comply thinking maybe there
would be an extension and at my age I really only wanted to work a
few more year. Now to offer an extension until 2023 does not seem
right for all the companies that have been working on complying the
last few years and had to take there resources to fund these
filters or purchase new trucks. This is not a fair playing field
when now we have to pay for all these upgrades and trucks and a few
can cut the rate and reap the benefit.

We also have livestock of our own and belong to this organization
that is asking for this amendment. We do not agree with them on
this. They are thinking of there own benefits not the livestock
haulers there are plenty of trucks around to haul the cattle so we
strongly oppose this amendment.

Thank you for your time and consideration
Darrell & Patt Delerio
