Not true, since your vehicle is legal in the state it is licensed California is required to allow the vehicle into their state without changes to the vehicle. If the vehicle is licensed in California then California can require just about anything they like on the vehicle for smog as long as it's tougher then federal law and they get approval from the Federal government.
especially a guy named John...he is tougher dude then anyone in here.....
As for speed limits, that has nothing to do with the legal equipment on a vehicle. California has no legal right to deny anyone from entering the state just because that vehicle doesn't meet their smog rules. No diesel vehicle from another state is required to have California smog systems installed on them only vehicles that are over 10001 lbs and only if they are for business use.
Basically I think CA should have the right to defend themselves from emissions....
If they want or need tougher regulations ....it IS their state. and state rights must prevail....using the commerce laws is just a stall on getting the truck upgraded...you can bet the farm if NYC had the same weather patterns, smog rules would be the issue there as well.....but since the prevailing winds take the air out to sea....no issue....

They lost that right when they started taking federal money for roads and bridges. They need to work on their traffic and the amount of cars to actually make a difference.

Oh... Did Arkansas lose that right as well? You know where drop axel controls must be outside of truck instead of inside?

I'm not familiar with that law but the law doesn't require you to go out and buy a brand new truck so it doesn't interfere with commerce as CA is.

For $17000.
seems mostly out of state O/O's are really rebelling.....OTR, LTL and truckload are complying...
so...you either do CA or you don't.....very simple really....If the rewards are enough you'll invest in your business or you won't.....it is no different really then choosing a carrier...
the idea of NOT having to chain up really appeals to me...

I was just looking around a little at some regulations and it appears this is actually a federal regulation. It seems there are some states that enforce it while others don't.

Really? some posted about getting written up on it...so far only in Ark. BUT then again Indiana loves lights...or lack of them....been stopped twice and both times Indiana....one running light and a plate light....no ticket or anything....just a contact stop for us CVers....
It's BC. And not because of the controls. They don't recognize them at all.

I saw a few complaints about LA issuing tickets, one was from here in 2007 and I believe the thread was started by Phil who was fined in LA. Check out this link http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs...rp_rpt_575.pdf Depending on what page number you go by it is 23/84 for PDF #'s or page 14 in the upper corner of the manual pages. I have never done the ST or tag axle thing and this is all news to me so I'm not 100% on it being federal but I am seeing lots of states have the same regulation.
