Is Cali CARB rule suspended?

So a guy who is trying to sell me a 2006 Cloumbia is alleging that it is California legal because Trump suspended the Cali CARB rules about non-emissions trucks. He says he's been running 2005 trucks into Cali without any problems. I am understandably sceptical. I doubt California would just give up their clean air program like that without a fight.

Have you guys heard anything about this, or is the guy wishful thinking, or just making stuff up to sell the truck?

 

Well, you know what I respect that. States rights and all that.

 

I don't mind the way the other states are handling it. Require newer trucks to have cleaner technology but allow older trucks to keep running, I think that's fair. Gradual progress without forcing anybody out of their job. California pushes it too hard, but I guess I can see where they are coming from due to their geography. That LA pit would be completely unsurvivable by now if they didn't implement emissions Tech back the 70s

 

It just sucks for my friend in Vegas who can't afford a new truck and buying a pre emissions one will severely limit their load options on the Landstar board. Especially for getting home - it's a lot easier to find the load to LA than it is to find one to Vegas
