While they might be messing up the application of the Carb law.....I agree with it in theory....

I just like it when you say "fellas"!!
Makes all the guys on here sound WAY cool!!
LOL!! "Cool" left me years ago.
I was cool from '90-'92.
Then I was "responsible" from '9/92-'3/11.
Then I was "bad" for a couple of months.
Then I had "swagger" for about 18 months.
Then on 9/22/12 I went "responsible" again.
Now I'm just "that guy". Or "4-eyes". Or "Hey old man!" Or "Would you drive faster, dude?!"

Of course the EO Cool Dude scale is a much different yardstick than in reality.

Do you have anything that would substantiate that?

Murraycroexp · Apr 24, 2014

Nope!! You got me there.

Do you have a Fonzie "AAAYYYYY!" t-shirt?

I can't decide whether to get that, or JJ's "DYN-O-MITE!"

70s cool is definitely cooler than any cool afterwards.

Based on what real, sound science? What REAL proof of any of the statements they have made has there been put forward? Can those results, if any, be duplicated?

I just heard that CARB has again pushed up the compliance date to Jan 1 2017 for the DPF filters on older trucks. My current extension for my 2005 KW ends in July. Sure would be nice if I can run thru 2016 without having to retrofit.

And on a related note, it's been reported today that Gym Franchise Applications have taken a nosedive since the CARB report was issued.

Question is, where did the information come from? I haven't seen anything on a decision yet.

jackdixon_2000 · Apr 26, 2014

Google Carb approves compliance alternatives. Trouble is, you need to have bad credit and be turned down for a retrofit loan. Also the deadline for compliance was moved to the end of 2016 from 2017 due to the majority of truckers testifying at the hearing that it was unfair for those that had not complied with the rules yet should get an extension.
Big fleets that retrofitted worried about a few poor single truck operators gonna give them unfair competition.

???2016 from 2017???unfair for those that had not complied???, thinkin it would be the other way around, 2017 from 2016, unfair for those that had complied. Have not been able to verify. I 'heard' the recent meeting results would be out 1st of next month.

Looks like the proposals, if passed, still require small fleets 1st truck already be in compliance as of Jan 1, 2014. The "denied a loan" option would exempt "up to three trucks" until Jan 1, 2018, but doesn't say if the three can include the 1st truck as proposed in the "small fleet" option. I'm thinkin they don't want my stinky Cat in there state.......on the fence so far.

I think this report was published prior to the vote on April 25th, 2014.
