Federal smog laws GregO'Connor

[George Burke]

Greg, This news may not be all bad. When you guys get hit with all these new regs. out there, would you consider adding a 1977FC gasser to your fleet? I would consider selling it at a substantial sum above what I paid for it, if it would help you guys get by the new rules. Regards, George Burke 1977FC31 Gasser Charlotte

California is on the forefront of plans to ease their trucking
economy into Federal mandated smog rules. CA smog rules are seen
by many as an example of typical Ca tree huggers getting their way
but infact it is a kinder transition to Fed smog mandates. Diesel

motorhomes with "private registration" are exempt from many CA smog
requirements but will be hit blind sighted when fed regulations take
hold. CCW is poised to cash in on repowering Bus and Tractors on

both coasts. Wanderlode came with the realestate

Commercial trucks in Ca have required programs with independent fees
and applications. The Highway patrol CHP does a good job of checking
compliance (trust me). I get pulled over for a roadside inspection

more than 5 time per the year. Thursday was one of those inspections
where a new team of clean jumpsuit clad officials reviewed my
Dumptruck and 18,000 lb excavator toad after I passed the CHP
review.


SCAQMD and ARB are the agencies. I was told that I was one of 50%
who had the required independent Smoke test certifications. They
retested for smoke and checked that the engine had compliant
decals???? The indepent smoke cert I provided and a onsite anytime

retest is a requirement.

ChrisF and Macie must be up on inpending laws effecting continued
operation of the old Cat3208 DD S92 and S60. Where do you two think
we are headed?

My Tims account on this foum is also reviewed prior to post.
