Our family has been in the truckload business solely in the State
of California for 63 years. While we understand and support the
need to establish a clean air solution, the stringent criteria of
time implementation is too short to
cost justify. We would ask, as the CTA has, for a longer time
table since coupled with the economic crisis, we cannot afford
the dramatic cost increase in today's marketplace.
Also, we would ask that the 53' trailer exemption mileage
radius be increased to 150 miles to mirror the DOT short haul
radius, not the proposed 100 miles. With excess trailing equipment
versus the number of power units, we do not travel enough miles to
support the retrofit components.
Your positive consideration would be appreciated as we continue
to struggle in today's business environment.
