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
