Crude oil dropped almost 7 bucks today. Felt it at the pump today here in Nashville.Diesel went down a whole two cents... Considering diesel fuel takes four less processes of refinement than regular unleaded it's hard to understand the logic that it's 83 cents more expensive at the pump.I'm sure I'm just stupid and there's a perfectly good reason for all of this...
I don't see anything about emissions in that article. What I see is union/company drivers vs independents.
Obviously, this doesn't apply to the owner/operators who operate OTR and just come into the state on occasion but it would apply to trucks that are hired by the docks to work there. Granted, the period laid out by CARB for upgrades is over about 10 years, but with various deadlines laid out every few years by fleet size. This is how they plan to not run the little guys out of business. Still, none of this means anything to private non-commercial owners.
