    Haven't heard that but who knows. I spent half a day getting decals for WA ports, good until 2015. When I asked what the purpose of me getting decals was I was told it would reduce pollution. Not sure how having decals on my truck reduces pollution but those peoples thinking is in a class of itself. I'm surprised CA regulations haven't been challanged as an impediment to interstate commerce which is unconstitutional.

    Verify anything you hear from a trucker. There are people in this world who believe a good story is better than a true one and they have a tendency to gravitate to this industry.

    That was successfully pushed in the CA ports, it is coming East and that is the point of the TERP program. Ports being a govmt. entity are charged with keeping their emissions down on their 'lil piece of real estate. Implemented programs that are enforced will keep the uncle's cash coming in.

    It's interesting, the new straddle cranes that lift the cans smoke worse than I ever thought of....guess their exempt.
