Mother Nature Network covers California dray operators’ New Year’s gift from CA
California-based drayage truck owner-operator Filiberto Cervantes is quoted in this recent story, part of the Mother Nature Network’s coverage of news relating to the environment, reacting in dismay to California’s drayage rule, which sees at yearend a deadline for compliance for the many trucks serving the ports through the state. Essentially, trucks with powertrains older than model year 1994 will be banned, and pre-2004 engines will require retrofit with a Level 3 diesel particulate filter. While many operators have already made upgrades, many others simply couldn’t afford to, as Cervantes’ case seems to illustrate.
