Pozas Bros Trucking is a California less than truckload
(LTL)company, established in 1943 operating continuously and
strictly in California.  An LTL company like ours and other LTL
companies ie.(FedEx,UPS,Conway,Yellow,etc) run routes in various
California communities.  These trucks usually stay in their
specific route 100% of their day. Many of the trucks used by LTL
companies to run these routes with class 7 equipment.  Under the
current proposal only class 8 tractors greater than 33000 GVWR that
operate only 50% of their time in the trade corridor are elgible
for state funding for replacement.  Pozas Bros would like to see
class 7 tractors also elgible for state funding to replace.  These
class 7 tractors use the same diesel engines that are used in class
8 tractors and many spend 100% of their time in the trade corridor.
 It can be argued fairly easily that there would be a significant
larger impact on improving air quality by targeting these specific
companies that run routes in our California communities.  Please
consider including class 7 tractors with less than a 33000GVWR for
state funding to replace.

Sincerly,
