    I know a few California based O/O's (flatbeds) who insist that enforcement of Cal's CARB laws have been delayed 6 months and are still running w/o complainant trucks.
    I've also heard from an OR O/O that a friend of his got a citation for violation thereof and read of such in Trucker's Report.
    A few weeks ago, I had a conversation with a commercial CHP officer and he told me that the CHP does not enforce CARB laws, nor would they be cracking hoods looking for compliance. But, he also said, that doesn't mean the ARB won't be posted up at weigh stations / road side doing their own inspections.
    I've been on CARB's website, and although it appears that they tried to dumb it down - I couldn't figure out who from what.
    What says One who knows - as opposed to They who think they do.
    Can a non-complainant truck run in CA?

    Well, here's how I understand it, you CAN run a non-compliant truck in Cali. until July, HOWEVER, in order to do so you have to be registered with CARB and PROVE that you are in the process of either making that truck complaint, OR have a newer compliant truck purchased or on order, and yes they want the p/w.

    With that said I email them a question about up fitting a truck, I have yet to get an answer,

    That's what I thought, but I think the law is for CA registered trucks that run no more 5000 miles annually. It would seem to be an exemption for noncarb trucks that are rarely used.

    The last I'd heard, they were working on it, but it wasn't law yet and it sounded like it was going to be tough to get.

    That's for trucks that only run 5000 miles a year period.

    there's still a ton of trucks older then 08 running n that state.

    i'm curious as to WHAT exactly this carb is supposed to be targeting. cuz the only thing i can see. is out of state long haulers.

    i don't see california applying that rule to their own trucks, school busses, fire engines, construction equipement, and what not. that's still a lot of pollution. way more then what they've kicked out of the state.

    from what i can see. old trucks can just keep on rolling through. they still are anyways. truck traffic doesn't look any newer then last year.
