Rob Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 The California Air Resources Board is reminding owners of heavier diesel trucks and buses that new emission reducing regulations go into effect Jan. 1, 2012, and many businesses may need to report compliance online.View the full articleAnother fine example of why this geographic location should be done away with from the rest of the USA.FedEx in Peoria received last week five delivery trucks, (Freightliner) with 24 ft. boxes, and liftgates that were very clean, (I was impressed) low mileage, because after Jan 1st. they cannot be run in California. This was part of an outflux of over 200 trucks that had to be replaced with "newer" units to be able to operate there.I'm thinking the batch received here were either 06, or 07 models, all had less than 100,000 miles on the clocks, and no rust. Even the interiors were very clean.This kind of activity completely disregarding what it does to the small business owner/operator. I know I couldn't afford to purchase a new truck just so I could run in that state. I know several parties that do not haul to that state citing this garbage.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

jaysm35a2 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I agree, how can the little man go ut and buy a new truck every year they want to do this. Then the truck builders have to jack up the price to keep up with the laws too.Hell my truck never had seat belts...

Olivetroad Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 A couple of truck dealers I have bought from in the past in Nevada are benefiting from this trash. If they are benefiting, then a lot of working men are hurting from it. I just bought a 10 year old chipper truck from Las Vegas that has 26,000 miles on it and is real clean. A municipal garage traded it in on a GAS engine one to be legal. They said they are tired of the rules being changed and then they have to jump to comply. They could have kept it another 15 years and still had less than 100,000 miles on it. Would have saved John Q taxpayer a lot of money!
