To whom it may concern, I am againsts the new proposed diesel
regulations due to the extreme financial hardship it will cause me
to replace my one truck. I have been an owner-operator since 1972
and operate one tractor and trailer. Since I am caught in a time
period that I am too young to retire but too old to seek employment
as a driver or anything else and if I am forced to replace my
equipment I cannot afford in order to stay in business. My
operation only requires me to travel 15-20K miles a year to service
my customers and my income cannot justify the huge addional expense
of a new truck or a very expensive retro-fit that, at best is
unproven and unreliable. This technology has not yet been tested
and the long term effects on engines and the equipment itself is
not known. Please do not force me to add unproven and untested
equipment to my truck that may effect the reliability of it. Thank
you for your time to read this. Sincerly, Robert Plowman,
