Well here we go again, CARB is doing there dance once again and
changing the truck regs. Last year in Dec. before I spent over 20K
to install the DPF on my truck, I checked the online CARB site and
in the questions box it someone asked if there where going to be
any more extensions and of course CARB said "NO" that this was the
final ruling. How can you trust an agency that constantly lies and
manipulates the rulings to fit there political needs? 

Why can't CARB have some integrity? for instance, I was reading a
CARB file titled Alterntives Considered para 7 stakeholders asked,
why cant small fleets be exempt from the DPF requirements? CARB
answered by saying that small fleets cause or make over 50% of the
nox and particulates in the state, well if that where true, why
wasnt the small fleets given half of the funding? It was because
CARB gave it to the big boys like UPS and Fed Ex the ones who make
millions of net profits, not us little guys who struggle every day
to make a living in an economy that still hasnt recovered.

In my opinion CARB is a lying, cheating, and deceptive agency that
is politically motivated and not really interested in helping the
small fleets, but is afraid of the impending law suits and is
trying to get in front of them by changing the rulings.

What would make me happy, Well I would like to get some financial
help on the DPF I installed, since I had to foot the whole Bill, (
go figure, CARB gave money to APCD's in nox exempt areas and then
gave them extensions to comply!) and make more funding available to
small fleets and make sure that those applying for financial
extensions are really legit and not trying to screw the system.
