5 Common CARB Compliance Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)

Mistake 1: Missing CARB Registration

Fleet owners must register every diesel truck in the Clean Truck Check (CTC-VIS) system. 💡 Avoid it: Verify registration status and keep compliance records updated.

Mistake 2: Skipping Emissions Tests

All heavy-duty diesel trucks must pass CARB emissions testing on time. 💡 Avoid it: Set reminders for semi-annual tests to prevent registration holds.

Mistake 3: Expired or Faulty Emissions Equipment

A failing Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) or OBD system error can cause automatic compliance failure. 💡 Avoid it: Perform routine maintenance and pre-test inspections.

Mistake 4: Relying on Outdated Regulations

CARB regulations change frequently, and fleet operators must stay informed. 💡 Avoid it: Subscribe to CARB updates and work with compliance specialists.

Mistake 5: Not Keeping Compliance Records

CARB requires proof of testing, maintenance, and repairs. 💡 Avoid it: Keep digital and physical records of all compliance activities.
