So I am OTR right now but I originally got into trucking with the intention of getting involved in the family construction biz (which operates in CA) with an end dump. Questions:
Are the older engined trucks (big cam cummins, older detroits, 3406b's) going to be unusable with all of this emissions junk?
Any retrofitting for said engines should the emissions issue arise in the future that would enable a truck with this motor to remain on the road?
Which engine would you prefer as far as maintenance goes?
Any advice you all can offer on older setups as far as what to stay away from or what you prefer would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

It looks as though they are trying to implement these rules by 2014, the site mentions "aid available from the state of CA"
. From what I've been hearing about it now that I've been asking, the $$$ is going to be the states' biggest hang up, as many are claiming they are taking equipment (or the right to use equipment) while supplying no financial help that would supply no financial help in replacing this equipment.
It's going to be interesting seeing how this all plays out because if it goes through the cost of goods in CA will go through the roof for the consumer, no way any biz owner can or will absorb these costs.
