Dear CARB,  

   I feel you are moving forward with your implementation by virtue
of your own staffs recommendations.

   There is no predatory rate cutting as posters would like you to
believe. If rate cutting  by non compliant 1-3 truck operators
having lower costs was true, the fleets would not historically sell
off their older equipment. 

  No one fleet is in total compliance. Those large fleets and
others who have BEGUN to comply  have done so but I'm sure the
incentives and grants hurried them. Most of them are able to
replace equipment at a faster pace than 1-3 truck fleets.

   One to three trucks ARE compliant by being registered in TRUCRS.
Efforts are being made. I for one have spent $7,000.00 this March
2014 on engine  repairs to bring my equipment into operating 
parameters of installing a filter. The DPF will be detrimental if
your turbo, cam, cooling system etc. is not good. That point is
conveniently overlooked when the cost of a filter is calculated. We
are not a bunch of outlaws.

    One to three truck operators are not ignoring you. We need the
same opportunities you granted others.

Sincerely,

Tim Trotter
