Environmental groups on Thursday called on Governor J.B. Pritzker to enact clean truck rules, but trucking groups say there is a heavy dose of reality involved. A group of environmentalists gathered in Chicago and called on Pritzker to adopt the safeguards to help fight air pollution. J.C. Kibbey is an advocate for the Climate and Clean Energy Program.
Don Schaefer, executive vice president of the Mid-West Truckers Association, says today’s trucks run much cleaner than in the past.
Schaefer believes there should be a national standard for truck emissions, not what he calls a “hodge-podge” of rules and regulations created by individual states.
