My wife and I have been in business for 25 years, and we own 5
Heavy-Duty trucks and employ 14 people. We only operate 10% of our
miles in CA, but because we are a CA corporation, we have to comply
with these regulations. This means we had to replace our entire
fleet with newer trucks, without getting any trade-in credit. Also,
we our plated by our contractee, in IN, so we were not eligible for
financial assistance to make the changeover. In addition, the speed
at which the transition was required did not give truck
manufacturers time to develop quality products. My trucks are in
the the shop for emissions related problems monthly. My repair
costs  have almost tripled. Your regulations along with the state
increase in Workman's Comp, will probably put us out of business in
the very near future. This business is (was) our retirement, but
these regulations just robbed us of $500,000. We are all for clean
air, and are very concerned about climate change, but this program
is a total disaster when it comes to implimentation.
