How many drivers who really couldn't afford to buy a newer truck
went out and bought one, when they could've waited til maybe they
were in a better financial position.  And these newer tractors,
2008-2011 not only do the drivers have a monthly payment for them,
but they are having monthly or maybe even weekly repairs on them
due to the filters installed not working properly. It appears that
not all of the problems that the installed PM filters are causing
were worked out before the tractors started being sold.  Is there
any compensation to these drivers.  How many drivers decided to
quit trucking because of this law. Why is this proposal happening
now and not before the end of the year.  Why wasn't all the
ramifications thought of when the millions of dollars were spent to
start this whole process.  It isn't really even being enforced,
certainly not at any scales or port of entrys.  Drivers could've
just kept their older tractors and have no problem getting in to CA
