Comment
I own 98 tractor spece,d for light weight specialized
trailer.Overhauled cummins engine with lo-nox overhaul kit,
purchased apu. run 150,000 mi a year about 10,000 ca would be happy
to install particulete filters but funny thing nobodys got one for
my truck apu found one 1389.96.so before you run me out of business
check to see if equipment is avalible to comply with new
regulations or give manufactures and trucking companys a fair
amount of time to install and comply with new law .I live in the
imperial valley how are you going to control all the farm equipment
[tractors,crawlers,swathers,pumps,field harvesters etc,] just
driving around in 2 days i counted 89 pieces of equipment blowing
diesel exhaust.and calif. is a one damn big farmfield spotted with
a few cities The economy is bad freight is at a all time low
freight rates suck and companys are going under daily.so give us
some decent time to comply and manufactures time to build equipment
needed to upgrade exhaust systems as some of us do not want to
forced to buy high priced trucks because grants,discounts,tax
breaks,you have to be able to make the money before you can spend
it and right now over a million people laid off no money ,no
purchasing,no trucks needed to deliver goods.
