I want to purchase a expedite truck and I want to take loads going to California but someone told me that I need to get a 2008 truck or better in order to get an OK to be able to go to California, or something about fuel injection...

If you stay under 26k you can get a truck that is a little older. My 2005 is good until 2021

If the truck's gvwr is over 26k, you need to have a 2007 EPA model year engine or newer. Most of those were installed in trucks 2008-2010. They have a diesel particulate filter on them. Older needs a dpf retrofit, and must be registered with the Air Resources Board in California. Hope that helps.

Yeah, California is super anal retentive about emissions. I know because I lived there for 12 years.

Carb Compliant is the term we are looking for, I believe.

Well if the California state politicians would all stop talking at the same time, they could be carb compliant a lot sooner.

The problems are not ONLY coming out of their mouths.......................... the more damaging "greenhouse gas" is coming from further south of there.
