    Do shippers require you to provide an ARB number for your reefer unit when picking up a load? Do some shippers check your year of truck or is that left up to the CARB cops?

    I've been asked for ARB number one time and the trailer I had didn't have one. And yes, it got loaded.

    Ok I think I am going to take my chances and pickup a load in Cali next week. I will be running down from Oregon on i-5 going to Delano. Then across 58 to 15 and north. Do you think I'll have any problems? I just got my reefer certified and got my ARB number (did it all online). My truck is a 2000 with a 1999 engine and I don't have any of that anti-pollution junk.

    I haven't been to Cali since about 2011. And only twice then.

    I don't think you'll have any problems. I know several people who go out there all the time still with older trucks. I run an older truck an I've never had any problems.

    You aint gonna have a problem if you run cali occasionally. There are thousands of non compliant trucks running here.

    Yeah I saw the guy who got a fine in the mail for 1,000. I don't plan to run Cali very often. Kind of in a pinch here. I am hoping to go in and out and get my dirty work done while being undetected.

    Don't sleep in rest areas in Cali and you should be ok unless their set up at scale which most scale masters aren't fond of ... They need a state patrol to pull you over or catch you when stopped .. We have guys who go their 3 times a month with older Petes knock on wood no issues yet

    I got in and got out. Came in on i5 from Oregon, down to Salinas, loaded and left on 80. Went through a bunch of scales but did not see any carb activity.

    I am not making California part of my business plan though. I was in a pinch and it was try this or go empty a very long way. I learned something though so it's all good.
