As a small business owner, I want to protest the onerous
regulations that are being proposed for trucks in the construction
industry.  
Our industry in particular is such that we stay fairly close to
home - usually within a 50 or 100 mile radius.  We contribute very
little to any supposed "negative diesel" partulate effect.  
Our indsutry is so suppressed now, due to the economic recession we
are experiencing, that I am barely able to draw a paycheck, let
alone have the fund to either retrofit my not-very new (1998) truck
OR to buy a newer one.  To do either of those things requires
capital that can be recouped by working.  there is little to no
work, and the rates because of it are absolutely pathetic.
Unless there is a huge change in our economy, the enforcement of
the regulations I have heard are proposed will put me out of
business - I become just another statistic.
