I'm curious about this and need your help.
I was just issued a 2023 579 with the X15 Cummins. My maintenance director said I can idle anywhere because it's "certified clean idle." Well the only problem is my truck does NOT have any decals stating that. I saw a KLLM 2023 Pete that most likely had the PACCAR engine because it sounded completely different than mine does and it DID have those stickers.
Does anyone know if my truck is CCI but they forgot to put the stickers? I mean I thought all trucks this new were all certified clean idle? But without the stickers they will harass me in Pennsylvania and other no-idle states.
This truck was SUPPOSED to come with an ESPAR heater. The exhaust hose is there, wiring is there, control panel inside the cab is there. The actual heater is not. It's a hole under the bunk with a plate covering it. When issued to me, I told the shop I couldn't get the heater to come on. Well, a few minutes of diagnosing and they decided to look under the truck. Turns out the truck didn't come with one even though they ordered it with one. So if I can't idle, I can't stay. I have no alternate sources of heat other than the big engine.

Studebaker Hawk and flood Thank this. -
When it gets cold enough most will just idle instead of using bunk heater. Better to make sure the engine will start the next day. Ticket is a non moving violation, just a fee, let the company pay it.

We all stayed overnight at the plaza so that wasn't a thing there. -
The decals should be directly below the mirror arms, where they mount to the door.

I would get on your company about this. As far as I have read, The stickers are required. Even though I doubt it would happen, it would suck to get a ticket from a D-bag DOT trying to prove himself.
Studebaker Hawk and ducnut Thank this.
