This regulation, especially at this dire financial time in the
economy, will be the final death blow for our company.  We are a
small trucking company with  3 older trucks and do not have the
capital or the sustained accounts to responsibily leverage for
credit of newer or retrofitted trucks.  Even the grants that are
being offered require committments that we will be doing business
for a set amount of years.  Heck, right now I'm not sure if I'll
have enough loads to keep us going through next year, yet along
commit to the guidelines of the grants.

This regulation will surely send many of our type of companies
packing and not only will this leave many people unemployed, but it
will create a huge gap in the procurement of transportation for the
needs of Californians. CARB is "CALIFORNIA" Air Resource Board. 
Really think about "California" as this act will surely cripple our
state.

I urge CARB to not pass this regulation.
