Dear Board Member,

I am writing in opposition to CARB's proposed buy new trucks
program being voted on next week.  We own a small hauling company
in Ukiah California.  We have 38 employees and a total of 12
trucks.  The total cost to replace and retrofit all of our vehicles
will be in the millions of dollars. Our older equipment will just
have to be scrapped or exported to another state. We simply cannot
afford to make these purchases and expect to stay competitive
enough to stay in business at our current size. At the least we
will have to downsize our company and release the employees to keep
pace with this proposal. Please consider some of the alternative
proposals that have been presented to prolong this new regulation. 
At least we may have a chance if we have more time to cycle out our
rolling stock.  

I appreciate your consideration.

Sincerely,

Reed Rinehart
