Will/can i get a ticket if my trailer doesn't have the skirt on it? And will they let you slide going 65 mph? What's the max speed you would recommend?

I don't know if they enforce the CARB rules but I wouldn't go faster than 61 mph in Cali. And stay out of the left lane.

Plenty of trailers running around California without skirts. California requires a certain percentage of the fleet be skirted, if they run California. That number is not 100%. If you are part of a small operation/fleet then this changes things but I would not worry about it regardless. I always run 60-63 and never have been stopped and have been looked at by more then a few CHP at that speed. But local and county cops are likely hit and miss about enforcement.

If I'm not mistaken the skirt law is for trailers made after a set date.

I run 62-64 in California depending on location. Never been stopped, never even got a second glance.
As for the trailers, I honestly think California is probably too scared to really start enforcing it.
Besides just look at the trucks based out of California, some of them are falling apart.bzinger Thanks this. -
Man i dont know how anyone lives in that state at all. So many laws its like its run by a dictator. I remember reading they wanted,to control home thermostats by remote and ban vehicles painted in black because of the increased emissions using the ac.

It's really not that bad besides all of the CARB stuff. And every scale is a super coop lol. Other than that it's not bad

The state is cash-strapped and I'm sure the CHP won't be happy about having to spend more resources to assist the KARB nazis when they enforce these regs.
Not to mention that California blew all that money on that KARB weigh station near Primm, NV while quite a few CHP weigh stations don't even have a legitimate bathroom.
