Gee, there's some sound advice ... I had never thought of that. I guess you didn't read the rest of the thread where I said I'm in a pinch and have heard that enforcement is spotty at best. Or that I don't plan on making Cali part of my business plan. Or the last part where I said I learned something.
Maybe it's better to just not contribute my experience for others. My bad.magoo68 Thanks this. -
I have no sympathy sorry.
-
We go to California quite regularly.
Never had any one ask for CARB#. -
What year is your truck? DPF on it?
Trailer have side skirts? ARB number on each side? -
Well it's a company Truck.
I just got into a 2016 Cascadia
Before that had a 2013.
Both have DPFs and DEF.
99% of Trailers have Side skirts.
The rest have the Under tray thing.
ARB Numbers are on the left of the (Reefer) Units. Maybe on the right too not sure.
Nobody has ever asked about it.
I just delivered and picked up in Cali even.gokiddogo Thanks this. -
I have a carb compliant truck and I still would never go to that #### state hahahaha. They hate truckers out there so I boycott them.

I live here, but I would never run it unless I was compliant. Take it from me, I have been in more scrapes with the law than your average driver as I am boneheaded. Northern CA have some counties that are conducive to impounding motor vehicles for what we would consider 'stupid' things. If it has something to do with being placed out of service, I would tread very carefully here in Cali. We are just as broke as every other state and will take action.
WA state is a stickler for the law as well as ID, which shares a COMPACT with WA(read as WA offenses honored in ID). OR wants their $$ if you run their state. NE can be problematic for the 6th or more driver that won't fit into the 5 space rest stops they have here... you can expect a citation. TN doesn't like you parking on their on-ramps, FL is all business. KY scares me with their technology, they were testing some x-ray that could look at your brakes to see if they were overheated and out of adjustment.
OH and TX have shaken me down for seat belt $$. It's usually on a Friday... Poker Night! Fun times. I've gotten a seat belt ticket and run 5 miles down the road and stopped again for speeding. HA! I love trucking. Can you believe I have a clean record? I used to pay the tickets, back when they separated your personal vehicle tickets and your commercial... but they don't do that anymore. I pay the attorneys now. Eh, it's still a 50/50, but I'm considered 'the house' when I get an attorney. And you know when it comes to percentages... the house always wins. Good luck. =)
