 I own a small business in Oakland and I have owned for 35 years to
provide service to this community and provide my employees a living
wage and benifits.This is all about to change if you adopt your new
rules.In order to comply I will have to reduce my staff by 25-35%
and reduce my fleet by 50-60%.Benifits my have to be curtailed or
elimnated.I strongly agree with your goal but see no way to
comply.I think some more work with the trucking industry needs to
take place and a complaince program that has the CHP & DMV doing
more in insuring that there is a level playing field.I purpose you
look at a little more liberal complaince schedule.I think if fleets
have 25% of their fleet in complaince by 2012 and then 50% by 2016
75% by 2019 and finaly in total complaince by 2022.This is not all
you desire but it would be alot more doable on the side of small
business.
