Glider trucks can emit harmful pollution at a rate <em>up to 450 times<\/em> that of other new freight trucks. So the broad chorus of opposition from the public \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/media\/edf-allies-ask-epa-protect-americans-health-super-polluting-glider-trucks\">including from EDF<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 is no surprise.<\/p>\n<p>But you might be surprised by who <em>else<\/em> is strongly opposing EPA\u2019s proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Every segment of the freight industry \u2014 truck manufacturers, fleet owners, freight shippers and other stakeholders \u2014 has spoken out to oppose this rollback.<\/p>\n<p>These industry stakeholders recognize that Pruitt\u2019s proposal would undo decades of progress in cleaning up pollution from heavy-duty freight trucks. Moreover, it would undermine their significant investments in pollution control innovation.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed rule would create a loophole for the small segment of the freight truck industry that manufactures super-polluting glider trucks, which use old diesel engines that are not equipped with modern pollution controls \u2014 and the loophole would be at the expense of other truck manufacturers and dealers who play by the rules.<\/p>\n<p>These freight truck industry words speak for themselves \u2013 EPA needs to reverse course on this deeply damaging proposal:<\/p>\n<p><strong>TRUCK DEALERS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regulations.gov\/document?D=EPA-HQ-OAR-2014-0827-4850\">National Automobile Dealers Association<\/a>, as well as numerous individual truck dealers, have expressed opposition to the proposal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TriState Truck Center<\/strong>, based in Memphis, Tennessee and employing about 400 people:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have been a heavy duty dealer for 72 years.

Today, our shops are clean and exhaust free due to the new EPA compliant engines. Do we really want to go back to those days?
