    I don’t think so. I believe it’s some kind of certification.

    No worries. I get that from time to time. When we were looking for a trailer, I stopped by the vending machine. The seller was talking to my husband. My husband told him to wait for me. The seller said, “What you need her for?” I didn’t hear him. My husband told me later. Simply put, men don’t like women in this business. I can tell if a man respects a woman by observing interactions in the workplace.

    For SmartWay, select no, unless you are signed up. Out of the list you’re seeing, the one selection that could matter is CARB if you plan to go into CA. Your truck and reefer trailer (if you have one) need to comply with CA CARB laws. If you don’t plan to go to CA, then select no for this one.

    SmartWay Transport Partnership - Wikipedia

    Something that could help you understand the trucking business is to look for OOIDA’s educational videos on YouTube or their website. Watch the ones that are relevant to starting a trucking business. There’s also a (discontinued but useful) podcast called Trucking With Authority that has lots of relevant information.

    I will check these videos. Usually, I go to google first. But SmartWay term can be used in so many ways, I thought I can get someone on board here faster. Thank you.
