If you look at the history of Tier I, II, III, and now IV, it has wreaked havoc on the over the road tractor diesel industry...
Freightliner has two plants located here in Mt. Holly and Cleveland...
Everytime a new tier is coming into effect the company has to hire workers and work overtime due to the freight companies buying a lot of tractors before the new regulations take place...
Once the regs take place and the new higher prices take effect then the business falls off to nothing...
They then go through the process of laying off a bunch of people they had to hire in order to get out the increased demand on the previous Tier regulations...
I am all for environmental protections but this madness has got to stop sometime...
Those yo-yo's in Washington are a bunch of blithering imbeciles and have no clue on how law effects employment until after the fact...
