CARB Extends Clean Truck Check Registration Deadline to January 31st
The deadline for trucks to be registered for the California Clean Truck Check was moved to January 31st. It was originally scheduled for January 1st.
Trucks must be signed up with a state registry for Clean Truck Check by January 31st, as well as a payment of a $30 fee. As Freightwaves reports, this rule applies to all trucks operating in the state, not just trucks based in California.
The California Air Resources Board will also be holding another webinar about the Clean Truck rule on January 9th for those that are interesting in more information.
Fines for Violating FMCSA Regulations in 2024 Slightly Increase
Late last month, the Department of Transportation announced increases of fines for a variety of agencies, including the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
This is not unusual, because under the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015, agencies have to adjust their civil monetary penalties for inflation every year, per the Federal Register.
Some of the other agencies that also increased their 2024 fines are the Maritime Administration, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
These new fine amounts are effective as of December 28th, 2023. You can view the increase of fine amounts, here.
