  I think that any "hardship extensions" are pure rubbish. Most
owner operators that are not compliant YET, are victim of nobody
but themselves. There has been ample time to be compliant, they
have made choices knowing about the deadline. 
  Fleets or single truck operators by not being compliant are
driving down rates for people who have complied.
  By only offering a extension of time that vehicles who complied
by 12/31/2013 with a dpf, we are being punished unfairly. For
example I have 1997 peterbilt tractor that I saved every penny I
could to be compliant on time. When my truck needs to be replaced
in will be nearly 26 years old, with proably 3 million miles on it.

  I think the arb should pay me back for my expenditure 0f the dpf
filter and compensate me for the lost wages (no rate increase do to
scofflaws), and diminished value of my tractor.
