CA and CARB

They do not enforce anything down there. i see plenty of gliders i see plenty of old non compliant trucks. as long as your dot legal your good to go

 

Well what truck and engine do you have? I have a big sticker on my hood saying I'm compliant. I have dd15 cascadia 2014?

 

I would get all your facts verified first, everyone here is just going to provide an opinion, vs the actual laws.

roadside checks are not uncommon.

 

I saw a cabover down there pulling cattle last week. Blowing smoke everywhere

 

thats from 2015

 

I run into CA evey week with a 2001 'non compliant' straight pipe truck. I have had 2 level one inspections, at banning and at donner - both times not a single word about the age of my truck, or about being CARB compliant. I go thru CA scales every week I have only seen CARB set up at the i5 scale north of San Diego going south once. I just passed that same scale last week and will pass it again this coming week. I did not see them last week and can almost guarantee I wont see them next week either

 

They are VERY uncommon. I lived and drove in California only for 15 years. I have never once seen or even heard of a carb inspection

 

I saw one on 65 in Lincoln just north of the SPI mill but that was probably ten years ago.
I think the last one I saw was set up at the scales on 299 west of Redding and that was five years or more ago.
The inspectors are still around, there just aren't very many of them.

 

Lived and worked in CA for over 40 years, and the only carb inspection I've had was from my wife. She told me I'm eating too many carbs.
