IMO, yes. As a new BCO you will be required to put an EBOR in your truck. Landstar will give you the unit and pay for installation.

Well, its been a year since I had to give up my truck and dealing with a screwed up finance situation and leave Landstar. I was curious, have the rates on the board gone up in California to any noticeable extent since all the CARB stuff has kicked in? I might have a chance to get another truck in the near future and seeing if I should just hang my hat back in the Midwest with a dirty motor cash truck or if Cali is worth the stretch for a truck payment again. Gut is telling me cash truck but still curious about Cali rates.
-
I did not notice any difference in the rate for California loads but there seems to be more available now which is frustrating for a guy like me. My 2006 engine has me doing that low mile provision and I am getting my ducks in order to apply for financing with Daimler Truck Financial so I can opt in for the good faith provision.
-
so no real difference in loads rates coming or going but just more of them. That's a quandary haha. Just keep an eye on things and see what pops when I get closer to decision time. Thanks for the input. -
Picked the truck up on your authority, or under Landstar's? I'm currently with Dart and looking at moving to LS.
My mentor suggested it would be best to leave the truck there since I'm only two years into the lease and bring
another truck of my choosing over there. Looking into my options to make that happen. I've spoken to a LS
recruiter, and she suggested using Arrow. I've see others here suggest Lone Mountain. If by chance you moved
over on Landstar's authority, I presume you still had to have the 2290 and insurance paid first before hand?
I don't want a lag in the transition, how did you time things out at Landstar to prevent one........what I'm asking
I guess is Landstar let you go through the application process and orientation without actually having a truck to
drive? As you stated, and I agree, I don' want or need another truck unless I'm sure I've made the cut. Dart's
lease is a walk away, just a matter of where they want the truck turned in at. So timing would be everything.

How about the small fleet option (phase-in)? Where I can have one truck with a DPF and one without.
-
Their article that covers the small fleet compliance is at https://www.ooida.com/IssuesActions/Regulatory/Resources/docs/CARB/CARBsmallfleet_comp.pdf.
According to http://www.truckinginfo.com/channel...g-good-faith-efforts-to-meet-regulations.aspx even with the small fleet exemption at least one truck needs to be fitted with a filter before January 1[SUP]st[/SUP] 2014.
Dewey120 Thanks this. -
I reported my truck to CARB in December and picked the low mileage provision. I was crossing my fingers that CARB would raise the 1K to 5K but it looks like I will pay some kind of fine as soon as they audit my CA total miles
