Trucking industry applauds first step towards repealing CARB waivers
Trump Administration takes first step to eliminate CARB waivers.

WASHINGTON – CARB waivers put into place by the Biden Administration are one step closer to being rolled back.

“This is not the United States of California,” said Chris Spear, American Trucking Associations president, CEO. “California should never be given the keys to set national policy and regulate America’s supply chain.”

Spear made the statement following the announcement from President Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin that the  waivers granted to California for its Advanced Clean Trucks and Omnibus NOx rules will now be submitted to Congress for review.

“Thanks to the leadership of the Trump Administration, Congress now has one more avenue available to reclaim the keys from Sacramento and restore common sense to our nation’s environmental policies,” Spear said.

I believe that DEF does more harm than good and has put a big financial strain on Owners and the Companies that have to use and install it and all of its extras . That’s not to mention the damage it’s does to the trucks and the road ways along with fuel islands if it’s spilled out during fueling or leaking because of its chemicals it’s also a unnecessary strain on the Motors.

Carb has already proved that new technology in diesel engines has exceeded the low emissions we need to protect the enviroment, even lower than Electric which we dont have the power grid for, California should not lead the way!
