Comment
As a California Truck Dealer I am very concerned about this current
proposal.

1) The value of my customers trade-ins has already dropped
thousands of dollars with just the threat of this regulations, if
it passes the used truck market will evaporate in California
leaving my customers scrambling to stay in the business.

2) The current economy has already impacted my business and we are
currently operating at 50% of our normal business, this regulation
will drop that by another 50%

3) The smart way equipment does not have a track record for fuel
savings.  Over the years the industry has already tried these
componets and has discovered the expense of repairing the
fiberglass damage inherent with the lower fairing placement FAR
OUTWEIGHED any fuel savings realized.

4) I support the coalitions alternative plan.

Thank-you Kathy
