| Comment | Many of California’s trucking companies have already begun the
process of retrofitting or replacing their fleets, whether in the
normal course of their business cycle or in anticipation of these
regulations. However, the smaller owner/operators – those with
fleets of five trucks or less – who make up more than 55 percent of
all trucks registered in the state, will be severely hampered by
the costs of retrofitting or replacing trucks that, in some cases,
are the sole assets of their family-owned businesses.
We must be careful not to forfeit California’s economy and ability
to move goods across the state, build construction projects and bus
our children to and from school for the sake of protecting our
environment
