Comment | ROD’S TRUCK REPAIR 11910 GREENSTONE AVE. SANTA FE SPRINGS, CA 90670 562-946-2808 PHONE 562-946-2848 FACSIMILE 800-559-1778 TOLL FREE RODSTRUCKREPAIRVIS@EARTHLINK.NET _________________________________________________________________ 12-4-08 To Whom It May Concern: I am not a truck owner or a fleet owner but I do have a truck repair shop that provides repairs, opacity testing, emissions testing, 90 day inspections, road service, etc. I believe if the new regulations are imposed in today’s economy it will not only hurt the truckers but also thousands of repair shops who employ hundreds of people. Everyone wants clean air and there has been great progress in the last few years and there will be more in the future. I think that C.A.R.B. needs to delay this requirement on the trucking industry and let people come forward with their ideas and to make testing more inexpensive so people with real results on lowering the emissions and cleaning up the air can afford the testing of their products. Remember California needs clean air, but also needs transportation and small businesses of which I think will cost a lot of jobs if the private fleet rule is imposed at this time, can we afford this? Just look and ask your truck dealers how business is and why are they lying off people. It could be that no one can afford the expenses. What I am asking is please look at how bad things are and don’t put people out of business. If you give businesses a chance clean air will come. There are businesses out there that can lower emissions with their products, but can’t afford to have them tested. Thank you, Rod Stallings |
