    Is anybody running in and out of California with a late model trailer without skirts?
    The trailer I'm pulling is a 2019 without skirts, wondering if I can enter California with it.

    I was out there week before last with a 53 that didn’t have them. I ran 15 to Barstow, across 58, down 5 to LA, and back out. Never got looked at.

    Thanks for the response, I would be going via 10 and the dreaded Banning scale, I guess I could go a different route and miss it. I just don't want to get ticketed for something so minor.

    We have regular 53ft vans that do pad wrap loads. None of them have skirts because of the ramps under the trailer. They run CA all the time.

    It's a CARB rule, aerodynamic devices are required on new trailers after 2012 or so.

    CHP could give 2 about aerodynamic
    Requirements. I have run out to that dump for years without trl skirts. Never an issue
