California bans trucks, trailers and refers in about a week

Maybe good vibes can balance the budget

 

I thought it was Reefer not Refer

 

It don't matter, in cali you cant smoke with either.

 

was there didn't see any green police

 

you can still run old trucks there if you put a reinbow flag on the side of the truck and have a small pudle dog and donate to Hillary compaign....

 

You got to refer to the reefer rule book.

 

California?.....never heard of it

 

Let's see how produce by rail works out

 

Skirts on Trailers? Applies to medium sized and large fleets. The ruling allows small fleets more options and time to comply to the executive order.

Who must act by the July 1, 2011 deadline to take advantage of the flexible compliance option?

Large fleets with 21 or more 53-foot or longer box-type trailers that operate in California, regardless of where they are registered, need to act by July 1 if they want the flexible compliance option.

Small Fleets get a Waiver!

Note: ARB has granted several extensions since the E.O. was issued. Check with the Website for more Information. ( Owner Operators are just as much responsible for knowing the ARB Rulings as the Mega Fleets.)


ARB Compliance Ruling....

Small Fleets rule and pre 2007 HD Trucks over 26,000lbs

What is the Small Fleet Option?
The small fleet option allows small fleets to meet PM filter requirements starting January 1, 2014 and
defers truck replacements until January 1, 2020 or later for heavier trucks (greater than 26,000 lbs). To
use this option, owners must report by January 31, 2014 to opt-in and must comply with the following
schedule for the heavier vehicles in the fleet (except as noted below):
• One vehicle must have a PM filter by January 1, 2014
• Two vehicles must have PM filters by January 1, 2017
• Three vehicles must have PM filters by January 1, 2018
The PM filter requirements can be met by either installing the highest level PM filter retrofits that have
been verified by the ARB or with PM filters that are standard equipment on 2007 model year or newer
engines. The compliance date for any vehicle in the fleet that was retrofitted with a PM filter before
January 1, 2014 is extended until January 1, 2023 as long as it remains in the fleet. All other vehicles will
need to be replaced starting January 1, 2020 on the same engine model year schedule as other fleets.

Looks like a lot of guys may not know there was a Option....that has been in effect for years, Time is running out! Either Buy a used 2007 or later truck or stop driving in California. ( many have chosen the later)
