I strongly resent not the fact that California is trying to keep my
husband and myself from earning a living. First you try to keep us
out of the ports by making all truckers eligible to go in the
ports, employees. Now, you are wanting us to spend $1000's that we
simply do not have so we can put aerodynamics on our truck. We have
one of the cleanest 2000 model trucks out there. We do our best to
keep our truck in prime condition. We have to as we haul high
security freight. We have spent $8000 to put an apu on our truck
so we don't have to idle. Now you are saying we can't even use
that. 
What you don't look at so stronly is all those local California
drivers whose equipment is a major league joke. I've seen trucks
go in and out of the ports and up and down California highways
with rope for securement, bald tires, exhaust stacks falling off,
coal black smoke coming from the exhaust. I could go on and on but
I won't. This is where you need to start. Not with over the road,
out of state trucks.
You will put us out of business if we have to spend the kind of
money you are talking about on our truck. We certainly didn't have
any help with the apu that we didn't want but had to have.
