Comment
well i don't agree with this new rule with forcing any trucking
company to install these retrofitted engines in their trucks.these
new engines from 2008 thru 2010 or so on are giving the trucking
companies a lot of problems with down time poor fuel mileage.these
engines don't allow for production.its way to many good older
trucks that has been well maintained that can and would be
productive if they were able to be productive in the lower 48
states verses be productive in the other 47 states because of this
over bearinr reg.i know and respect that we want to keep old mother
earth clean and long lasting thats a good thing however there needs
to be a compromise.just like the owners of classic automobiles
they're still here in all 48 state and are insured to roll on the
nation hwy & byways so should owners and companies with classic and
older trucks be allowed to roll america's hwy%byways many owners
and companies like some of the older eqipment they take pride in
their rides.all this fuss over this issue should stop and new
remedy should be sought out i known its not an easy answer to this
issue with all the regs.i just beleive that as the economy improves
most owners and companies will upgrade their equipment as they
begin to earn more .and older equipment will fade away .allow a
stipu for good equipment to be allowed to earn&spend in your good
state.in another 10 to 20 yrs the issue will be electric commercial
vehicle i reckon it'll never end.but for now we need regulation to
to keep good older equipment on the road in all of america.
