I have been in the trucking since 1968, plus drove for someone else
a couple of years before that.  I am 66 years old. I can't afford
to retire at this time, and sure can't afford to retro fit my
trucks with the new carb devices.  You are going to put so many
people out of business with these new rules.  Plus it will affect
the State of California in such a negative way, from the consumer,
the wholesellers, the retailers right on down the line.  What are
you people thinking? We all want clean air, but I hate to think you
are going to ruin our state, and bankrupt so many of it's citizens.
 There has to be a better way.  Maybe new regulations when you
replace a truck, when it is the right time for your business. For
my business the last few years have been really rough, I'm just
getting by.  There is no way I can replace trucks at this time, or
the new emisson device.  However, I have always passed all my bit
checks, and smoke test with the trucks I have, which are a 1995 &
1998 Peterbilts. Everything we touch in our every day lives, is
moved in a truck,by many small business owners, such as myself. 
What's going to happen when our state does not or cannot keep up
with demand of supplies for our citizens?  Will we all have to move
out of state to just buy a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk?
Think about it, and how far reaching this will effect us.
