New Air Rules Could Cost California Truckers
12/4/08

Quote:

Sacramento, CA (AHN) - California air regulators are expected to vote next week on rules requiring trucks to be retrofitted with pollution control equipment that lowers diesel fuel emissions.
But trucking company owners are hoping the rule is rejected or delayed because they say many companies don't have the money to install the expensive equipment or to buy new trucks if the equipment doesn't lower emissions to levels satisfactory to the California Air Resources Board.

Seems like Commifornia is putting the horse before the cart here! A lot of companies simply don't have the money to buy new trucks or they want to wait so all those new emission trucks get the bugs worked out of them!

Alot of companies don`t have money for anything extra.The only way is to pass the cost onto the customer,until the vicious cycle completes and we all pay even more when we shop.
Maybe its time to start thinking and planning organized boycotts.Its about time the American Trucker stopped being everybodys "whipping boy."

Calif. truckers: Adjust emissions rules

Quote:

California trucking operators are trying to convince the state’s environment bureaucracy that upcoming emissions regulations should be postponed or modified because of the compliance cost in a shaky economy.

Driving Toward a Cleaner California, a coalition of trucking interests, is asking the state’s Air Resources Board to take into account the economy and adopt rules that clean the air without hurting the trucking industry. CARB is scheduled to vote Dec. 11 on a program to require trucks to be retrofitted with emissions equipment or replaced over several years to reduce air pollution from diesel engines.

Diesel truck rule debated before key vote Friday
12/9/08

Quote:

California's air pollution board Friday will consider adopting strict new rules requiring cleaner diesel trucks to reduce the risk of health ailments linked to soot particles.
Truckers and public health advocates call the diesel truck rule a milestone in California's campaign for clean air, but they sharply disagree whether it requires reductions too soon.
To meet a series of proposed deadlines that vary by truck model, truckers would have to retrofit older diesel vehicles with pollution filters starting in 2010, and eventually replace the 1 million trucks operating in California with cleaner models by 2020.

California proposes rules limiting pollution from nearly all diesel trucks

12/10/08

Quote:

The black soot that big-rig trucks belch from their chugging diesel engines may soon become a thing of the past.
In one of the more far-reaching smog regulations that California has ever proposed, state air regulators are considering a first-in-the-nation plan that would require nearly every privately owned heavy diesel truck in the state to install a filter that would reduce emissions of soot from their rigs by 85 percent.
The new regulation would affect 1 million truckers, half of them registered out of state who regularly drive on California freeways. If approved by the California Air Resources Board at its meeting Friday, it would take effect in 2010, with nearly all trucks required to be retrofitted by 2014.

California truckers choke on proposed emission rules
12/11/08

Quote:

California trucking companies fear the cost of complying with proposed regulations on diesel emissions could run their businesses off the road.
The California Air Resources Board was expected to vote Dec. 12 on controversial regulations estimated to cost the trucking industry $5.5 billion. If passed, the standards would require operators of California’s 1.5 million diesel trucks and buses to begin retrofitting existing engines or replacing them with newer, cleaner-burning fleets by 2010.

New Air Regulations Alarm Trucking Industry

12/12/08

Quote:

SACRAMENTO (KCBS/AP) -- California's trucking industry would be forced to undergo a major overhaul if air regulators adopt new rules to reduce diesel emissions.
For the first time anywhere in the nation, filters would have to be attached to exhaust pipes on nearly every privately operated diesel truck, a modification that costs anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000 per truck.
