Hello C.A.R.B., First of all let me say I am very disappointed in
the way CARB has handle the Truck and Bus Regulation. As you well
know the business climate in CA. has been dismal the last 6 or 7
years, and as a single heavy truck owner its been tough going, but
wanting to comply with the new regs, I was reluctently willing to
my part. So in Dec. 2013 I had a DPF installed at a cost of over
20K.  Also there was no funding available in my air district even
though it continues to remain a Nox restricted area, so the install
was all out pocket for my business. My complaint with CARB is that
you keep extending compliance deadlines and changing the regs and
many truck owners taking advantage of this and not putting there
equipment in compliance while I have, putting me at a financial
disadvantage and try to compete for business! Your proposed changes
says that CARB is planning to give credits for early compliance
giving truck owners till 1/01/2023 for final compliance, well
hello! your not giving me anything as I took the small fleet option
for single truck owners and I already have till 2023 for final
compliance! How about giving some of the cost of filter back to the
small fleets so we can stay in business! If CARB does go through
with the new changes I plan to join a class action lawsuit against
CARB for financial degregation to my business which hundreds of
truckers statewide have already signed on to.
