New CARB Regulations and California Trucking

The economy of the state of California is larger than that of most nations on the planet. The diverse natural resources, geographical features, and human talent in the state enable for the growth and harvest of many agricultural products in addition to the production of numerous varieties of goods. As a consequence, there has long been a steady flow of business for trucking owner-operators and small commercial trucking companies.

Unfortunately, some believe that the imposition of new regulations by the California Air Resources Board may spell disaster. If you are concerned about the amount of financial resources that your trucking company has on hand, you may want to consider trucking factoring to close the gap created by unpaid invoices.

Coming Changes

The aim of the new CARB regulations is to reduce the emission of diesel exhaust from commercial trucks. The compliance dates are set on a rolling schedule that began on January 1, 2010 and which extends for years into the future. At the core of the new regulations is the requirement that engines which fail to meet the new standards must be either replaced or retrofitted with filters that can make them compliant.

Unfortunately, this is an expensive proposition that may be impossible for some truckers to meet. The following are some of the new requirements:

• Aerodynamic devices to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions
• Fuel-efficient tires
• Engine replacements, retrofits, or filtering devices

These requirements could be very costly, especially for smaller companies and independent truckers who do not have a lot of spare income.
