I support the exemptions being proposed for livestock haulers
especially the removal of the 2500 limit for the ag specialty
vehicles.  There are many out of state haulers that will not come
into California due to our diesel rule.  We have a dire situation
in Imperial County with the impending closure of National Beef and
the loss of our processing capacity that will require us to send
cattle to Texas or Kansas.  There are not enough trucks to haul the
volume of cattle that will be needed so we need out of state
truckers to help.
This exemption will also greatly help the many seasonal haulers in
California that cannot afford to make the upgrade due to the
limited mileage they use their trucks each year.
