On the new trucks I see at least 20 or more 2010 to 2014 all makes
of trucks setting along side the Highways every trip to CA. Either
waiting for a Service truck or Tow truck it is all from the new
emission's on the trucks. I have taken the time and asked the
people who work on all the trucks they all say the same thing it is
not working the cost is 30 percent higher to own and the do not
last. Engine failer any where from 240,000 to as low as 123,000
miles. Salesmen of all makes have told me a single truck operator
will go broke not because anything they do wrong it is the trucks
the down time will Bankrupt them. Most of all the rates are not
high enough to afford a new truck and NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE A CHANCE
ON A 07 TO 2014. The CEO's of the trucking manufactures say
everything is OK it isn't. We are fine with New tech. coming out
but mandating it is wrong and as the Supreme Court said No local or
State Goverment can mandate or regulate or put a undue financial
burden on motor carriers. State's it in the Constitution of the
United States. We stand by that let it come in like all new
emission on cars have the old will leave the new will take over in
time As of now the new is not working it needs time to find out
why.this type has been proven wrong in large truck engine's before
