CARB citation amount??

Does anyone know how much the fine might be for an out of state truck running in California? I know its serious for trucks with California plates. I plan to only go there once in a blue moon, but when I do go, I won't have a Carb compliant truck.

▼ 14. How will the Truck and Bus Regulation be enforced?

A. When will you begin enforcing the Truck and Bus Regulation? Can I get a ticket today?
The Truck and Bus particulate matter (PM) filter requirements went into effect on January 1, 2012 and are now being fully enforced by ARB. Vehicles in violation of the regulation can be issued citations that carry penalties. However, ARB will use discretion in enforcing the regulation in order to account for mitigating circumstances (e.g., good faith efforts to comply with the regulation). You may contact the Enforcement Division if you have any further questions.

B. How much is the fine?
Heavier vehicles (those greater than 26,000 pounds GVWR) that are not in compliance with the Truck and Bus regulation face penalties that start at a minimum of $1,000 per violation per month, and will increase significantly over time. The actual amount of a fine can vary depending on mitigating circumstances.

C. How will ARB enforce the regulation?
ARB will enforce the regulation at CHP weigh stations and other random roadside locations, distribution centers, fleet facilities, truck stops and other locations where trucks and buses are present.

D. What do I do now if my vehicle is out of compliance?
You should make every effort to come into compliance with the regulation as quickly as possible. If you have already been cited for a violation of the regulation, then the sooner you act, the lower the penalties you face. You cannot legally operate a vehicle in the state of California that is subject to, but out of compliance with a regulation. The more you operate a vehicle in the State that does not comply with a regulation, the greater the risk of being cited for a violation of the regulation. It is the choice of the vehicle owner whether to continue to operate a non-compliant vehicle in the State.

E. Where can I find more information?
You can find more information about enforcement related actions, inspection videos, and learn about penalties and sanctions on the TruckStop Enforcement webpage.

usually $500 per vehicle(tractor+ trailer combination) per day ...so it could be from $1000 to $1500 . the bad ones write second ticket for having not aerodynamic trailer.

You are allowed into the state once or twice a year with a non dpf truck. But you will need to get hold of carb for the details. At least that's what I understand.
