CALIFORNIA-BOUND FLEETS

Based elsewhere. Operating in California.

Your fleet can be headquartered outside California and still have trucks subject to Clean Truck Check. Build your plan around the vehicles that actually enter the state.

Registration elsewhere does not settle the question.

Clean Truck Check generally covers diesel and alternative-fuel vehicles over 14,000 pounds GVWR that operate on California public roads, including vehicles registered outside the state. Exemptions apply; CARB specifically excludes motorhomes registered outside California. Review CARB’s applicability guidance.

Make a California vehicle list.

Begin with the trucks assigned to California routes, including occasional trips. Keep that list separate from your total fleet count so your inquiry reflects the vehicles you want reviewed for this service.

• Identify engine model years and fuel types.
• Note where each vehicle is normally available for setup.
• Record any ELD or other equipment using the diagnostic connection.
• Assign a contact who can coordinate account information and follow up on testing issues.

Plan shipment and setup by operating group.

AVG can be shipped nationwide for qualifying California-operating vehicles. Discuss whether it is more practical to prepare your rollout by terminal, route group, or a small initial group of trucks. Each gateway must be prepared for its intended vehicle and use an appropriate, confirmed connector arrangement.

A fleet based in Phoenix, Dallas, or Chicago can use the same planning approach. These are examples of fleet origins; the service described here concerns California operations.

Keep the California compliance record current.

Remote testing does not replace vehicle reporting, applicable CARB fees, or your other obligations. Check the deadlines in CTC-VIS before a trip rather than relying on where the vehicle is registered. CARB provides separate guidance on testing schedules and results. Review CARB’s testing guidance.

Use your eligible truck count for pricing.

For 1–15 eligible commercial vehicles, standard annual service is $300 per vehicle. With more than 15 trucks, request a quote and ask whether a fleet discount may be available. Any discount is subject to review and is not guaranteed. Include the number operating in California and any questions about existing equipment. Nationwide shipping does not make this service a substitute for inspection programs in other states.

Plan around your California routes.

California operating areas can include Los Angeles and Long Beach ports, the Inland Empire distribution network, Central Valley routes and Northern California destinations. For fleets headquartered in western, central or eastern U.S. freight markets, include only the vehicles that enter California in your initial service review.

Examples include fleets based in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Reno, Salt Lake City, Denver, Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Chicago, Kansas City, Atlanta, Memphis and the New York–New Jersey region. These are fleet-origin examples, not ASAH offices or local testing territories. AVG can ship nationwide; this service addresses California Clean Truck Check and does not replace other states’ inspection programs.
