Comment
I have been struggling to be in compliance and stay in compliance
with all of the regulations.  I have spent millions of dollars to
comply by the given deadlines and now you are trying to reward the
ones who are not in compliance by giving them more time.  I already
 lost jobs to the truckers not in compliance because they can run
cheaper.  If you pass this new regulation and extend time to those
not in compliance it will put me out of business. Their are
truckers out there that are requesting from their banks a loan
denial just so they can have more time and run their older trucks. 
We have already experienced this from one of our subhaulers who
knows he can keep running with this letter and the new regulation
for another 3+ years.  He will now go direct to my customers at a
cheaper rate. I will lose my customers. When it was time for me to
be in compliance I did so or I would of had to shut down or run my
trucks out of compliance.  I am in compliance because this is my
business I was expecting all other truckers to be doing the same
and that way keep an even playing field. This new regulation will
change the playing field and give the edge to the ones that chose
to ignore the laws, thereby causing me to lose my customers and my
lively hood.
