No, I can't imagine there are points because.......CSA is a federal regulatory body or points system..CARB is strictly California and has nothing to do with CSA. Here's what I want to know......If you are ticketed by the Air Nazis, what if you just don't pay the ticket? What are they going to do? I've already heard CHP will not enforce the laws and I can't imagine they would put a warrant out for your arrest for this. To me, a CARB ticket has the legal equivalent to a noise ticket like stereo too loud or jake brake. Can someone clarify this?
As far as the poster's original question, I have not heard that and highly doubt it because if that were the case there would be no need for CARB.

I run a CA registered 04 Volvo isx 530. Its not "CARB compliant" and so far no one has touched me. Just renewed reg till June 2015.
-
This is a sore subject for me because I spent extra money on the tractor I bought to be compliant and I hate the dang thing. I WISH I'd have bought a glider and just rolled the dice. Even if I got popped every year it wouldn't add up to the yearly cost of DEF + emission related repairs. My trailer was an ok deal and happens to be compliant so I'm not so ticked about that. Bottom line, SCREW CARB! -
This insane CRAP is gonna be enforced by the shippers!!!! YEAH!!! CA carb is essentially going to shift the enforcement portion onto shippers.......it's basically that way now with reefers I am told. Some port loads ( OF ALL THINGS) are getting fussy..........and yet the local JUNK hauling cans....oh this makes my blood pressure go up!!!!!!
double yellow Thanks this. -
Just FYI, people that are getting tickets.. Make sure what their tickets are for. Reefers have been known to get cited for not having a dpf installed.. No one has been touching trucks. Yet.

Not to make this a political issue but it is ...
What also reinforces the issue of access to markets is having a shipper, receiver or a company deciding not to allow access to the dock, this is really a problem that closes off markets in California through the CARB regulations. -
If or when they ever do start enforcing CARB standards, it will be a civil violation (California Vehicle Code) not criminal. They will issue a summons to appear in court, if you do not show you will be issued an FTA (failure to appear) NOT a bench warrant. It is a judges discretion whether to issue a bench warrant. My guess is, most judges will treat this like CHP treats CARB. Its a joke, the only people in California taking CARB seriously are tree huggers and CARB employees.
Think of it as a seat belt ticket, have you ever heard of someone being arrested because they didn't show up in court for a seatbelt ticket? It could happen but probably never will.Attached Files:

CARB is complete joke. They want to enforce this law but are afraid to ,especially on out-of-state trucks for fear of the backlash

their temporary allowance is this.
CA in state trucks are allowed to drive 1000 miles per year in the state. long haul operations are allowed to drive in CA up to 5000 miles throughout the country.
so if your an instate truck and drive over 1000 miles in the state or if your long haul operation that drives more then 5000 miles throughout the country. then you've got problems.
i've heard operating authorities get revoked for not paying their fines. every story i've heard has been a different circumstance. but regardless, don't pay, don't operate. i can't put any truth to them stories. so take that as you will.
i don't know about the enforcement operations. but if you read TTR or listen to the radio. companies ARE getting fined. by either carb or some white van. carb wants your money, so they can fund their own department and research. with a small portion going to something else. -
Do you have an idea of how much ppl are being fined? And I havent heard of them revoking your authority. I thought only the DOT/FMCSA could do that?
