As an owner operator I find myself in the middle of CARB rules and regulations. We all know that major changes are needed in order to stop polluting our air, however in trying to comply with CARB we find ourselves in financial stress due to the maintenance of DEF and PDF filters that don't work properly and break engines due to lack of engineering. In some occasions forcing us to take matters in our own hands and finding ourselves in trouble with CARB and getting citations, maybe 30-40% of the trucking industry, run a citation survey. If the filters were engineered properly and maintenance friendly the pollution by trucks wouldn't be as severe. The government gives us vouchers to purchase equipment, but not to maintain filter systems that need engineer improvements. Solution: if both CARB and truckers made the necessary improvements, things wouldn't be so bad here in California. Gus |
