I have worked in the truck sales business for over 25 years now and
have never seen as much confussion and unfairness in any rule
making by the state of California. At this time and for the past
year our customers have been on the fence for purchasing new and
used equipment due to the pending Statewide Truck and Bus
Regulation 2008. This pending regulation has effected used truck
values, new truck sales, insurance values, trucking companies and
related business revenues ( tax base ) and there net worth. With
this said we as California Truck Centers which include six
dealerships in California mantain a stock of 600 to 750 uised
trucks at any given time, if the rule passes we feel that any and
all value of most of the used trucks will be Zero $0 and that
coupled with the economic slowdown will make it very hard, to say
the least, to stay in business. We employee 100 people per
dealership for a total of 600 plus employees that would have to
join the growing ranks of the unemployed. With this said I recomend
that the state table this regulation on at least adopt the CTA
proposed regulation.
