I have been in the trucking business for 35 years.  I have been
through many ups and downs in this business.  I regret to say that
CARB proposals will put many trucking companies out of business. 
We are barely making ends meet now.  This will be the straw that
breaks the camels back, not only to the trucking industries, but to
all of California.  My truck is a 2001 model with 232,408 origional
miles.  Thats an average of 29,501 miles per year.  You are going
to allow out of state non CARB trucks to operate in Ca. that will
be putting more miles in Ca. than I will. Are you going to require
they conform to the same rules that we do? Also, what about the
Mexican and Canadian trucks.  The recession that we are going
through now will be nothing compared to what will happen if these
regulations are pass. I believe that the requirements should met as
the older trucks are replaced by the new ones.  We all want cleaner
air, but not at the expense of a total economic meltdown.  IT WILL
HAPPEN.  Sincerely Sal DiSalvo
