Expert Clean Truck Check Services

Helping You Navigate the California Clean Truck Check Program

CARB’s Clean Truck Check program is intended to maintain healthy air in California by reducing toxic air pollution. Unlike previous programs, CTC affects all diesel trucks and many other diesel vehicles operating on state roads. Be CARB Compliant will help you navigate the new program, ensuring your vehicles are properly registered, tested, and in CARB compliance.

Avoid Clean Truck Check Registration Holds!

The California Air Resources Board requires that heavy-duty vehicles greater than 14,000 pounds operating on California roads be registered and regularly tested for emissions issues. This legislation includes diesel motorhomes registered in the state and commercial trucks operating in the state but registered elsewhere.

Failing to complete the Clean Truck Check process can have a significant impact on operations. One of the most common results of non-compliance is a hold on your DMV registration. Suddenly, your vehicles must stand idle while you wait to resolve the issue.

Working with Be CARB Compliant offers a simple way to keep your vehicles in compliance. We will walk you through the registration process and make certain your vehicles are tested by a certified expert when the time comes. By working with our team, you can avoid the headaches of CARB compliance and keep your vehicles on the road.

Clean Truck Check Program Benchmarks

The Clean Truck Check is the next step in CARB regulations, and many people are struggling to adjust to the change. You can rely on our team to get you through the process.

Registration

For both diesel fleets and owner/operators, Clean Truck Check requirements began in 2023. To bring your vehicles into compliance your first step is registering every qualified vehicle in CARB’s Clean Truck Check database (CTC-VIS). Our team will ensure a smooth registration process.

Compliance Fees

You must pay a $30 compliance fee for every qualified vehicle operating in California in 2023. For 2024, if a vehicle’s compliance deadline falls between July and December, another compliance fee will be due. This annual fee will be a regular part of your CTC compliance requirements.

Emissions Testing Requirements

Regular emissions testing begins in 2025. Every vehicle in your fleet must be tested twice per year. In 2027, the testing schedule jumps to four times per year. Most qualified vehicles must undergo an OBD test. Pre-2013 engines will require the older opacity test. All tests must be carried out by a credentialed tester.

Diesel Motorhome Notes

If your diesel motorhome has a GVWR of more than 14,000 pounds and is registered in California, the CTC regulations listed above apply. You must register your vehicle and pay the compliance fee. However, motorhomes only require testing once per year.

Out-of-State Trucks Notes

CTC requirements apply to vehicles registered outside of California that operate on state highways. You must register every vehicle in your fleet, pay the compliance fee, and receive scheduled emissions tests to continue driving in the state.

Do You Have Questions About the Clean Truck Check Program?

Many of our clients have expressed concerns about keeping their vehicles in CARB compliance with the new program. Here are the answers to a few common questions.

What vehicles fall under the Clean Truck Check rules?

Most diesel and alternative fuel vehicles with a GVWR of 14,000 pounds that operate in California fall under CTC regulations.

How do I find out my CARB compliance deadline?

For a vehicle registered in California, the compliance deadline is the same as its DMV renewal date. For a commercial truck registered outside of California, the deadline is based on the last digit of its VIN.

Do I need to pay attention to CTC regulations if my vehicle is registered in another state?

Absolutely. The goal of Clean Truck Check is to reduce the emissions of all diesel vehicles operating in California. This includes vehicles registered in another state.

Who can test my vehicles?

Clean Truck Check testing can be carried out by a credentialed tester using approved equipment. Be CARB Compliant has testers on staff who can assist you. In some cases, you may want to have an in-house staff member credentialed through CARB’s training course to handle this task.

What happens if I ignore the Clean Truck Check registration process?

Operating a truck that is not in CARB compliance can result in financial penalties and DMV registration holds, keeping your vehicle off the road.
