Bad start to a new year

And you couldn't get an extension? We have 4 trucks to run until 2015 and 16.

 

Hey!! Is this Sergei ??

 

Read somewhere OOIDA is filing a lawsuit against California; something to the effect that California can't regulate out-of-state trucking companies concerning issues such as CARB due to interstate commerce laws.

 

calif has their bases' covered, so to speak,..you can try all your work arounds but they will catch up to you sooner or later and they like to "retro" fine you..They will hit your tax return 1st.. then your BOLs.then your trucks paper trail....then... well you get the point.they build snowballs with your info..

 

No......? lol where would you get that?

 

they arent trying to regulate out of state trucks..only those that come into this state...thats how they "work around"

 

Just talked to a driver from California..(owns his own truck).......

He was explaining this..If you are an independent owner-operator, You can get a waiver exonerating your truck from ther CARB compliancy...

But he said you are only allowed 5,000 miles per year in California..

Im going to look into that some more

 

Are you dry box, refer, flats, tanker.... ??

 

It is being challenged by OOIDA and it will be interesting to see how it turns out (http://www.overdriveonline.com/carb...etrofit-requirement-in-emissions-regulations/).

The same type of challenge got rid of the coil endorsements that Alabama had for out of state trucks. They ruled that the requirement that Alabama had was preempted by Federal law (http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regu...otices/Alabama-Metal-Coil-Securement-Act.aspx).

The Alabama law only applied to trucks that came it to that state as well.
