Experience with California post 2010 truck ban?

I don't think you have to pay for it, or didn't anyway. You did have to have it before entering.

I think it was "Low Usage Exemption" IIRC

For less than 1k miles a year. I used it twice my first year to run through due to wildfires.

My first year was after Jan 1 21

 

We have a growing list in the break room at the barn of places that will not receive you either if you have a old truck even if you get by CARB…

 

If you have a big “Sack”……… don’t t worry about CARB. Just roll the dice. I see a handful non-compliance trucks every day. If you’re going to be asking…… don’t bother coming into COMMIEFORNIA. We are like the Jehovah Witnesses, we only care about our inner circle.

 

Imagine a whole country under Cali regs...

 

If you knowingly take your truck into a restricted situation, you kind of deserve what you get. As far as us in CA, We don't care if you come into our state or not.

 

Only guy I personally know that got caught just got a slap on the wrist and told not to come back. But he’s been out there this spring again bringing calves out.

 

yeah I know a guy that hauls beef out there every week with his 99 Peterbilt.

 

It used to be out of state trucks that rolled 5000 miles a year. Instate was 1000 miles. You could get a one time permit.

I don't remember the exact details.

And it's gotten stricter since I was there 9 years ago.

 

I’ll just stick with the NW if I feel like headed to that side, no reason to deal with the bs

 

There’s a dozen or so states that are getting onboard with the California emissions requirements so just a heads up.
