HOW LONG WILL MY TRUCK BE LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA???

I’m sure that all of our recent posts about CARB are wearing some of you out.  But this topic is also creating a lot of conversation.  Most of you wonder how long you can legally run in California with your truck.  I have all of the answers.

The list below shows the years that you can continue to run in California, depending on what the age of your engine is.  If your engine is 1996-2006, you can report to CARB, and operate within the state til Jan. 1st 2014, which you will read about below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I own a single truck; how do I take advantage of the small fleet compliance option?
As a single truck owner, you can delay the PM filter requirement for heavier trucks until January 1, 2014, and truck replacement until 2023. The table on the following page shows when you must report and the compliance requirements base on engine model year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So basically the majority of you are small fleet owners, and by reporting your truck information to CARB, you will at least be able to travel in California until January 1st, 2014.  If you have any more questions, refer to this link: http://www.arb.ca.gov/html/fact_sheets/smallfleet_comp.pdf
