You’re running a business, not chasing paperwork. But California’s Clean Truck Check program doesn’t care about your schedule. Starting in 2025, your 2013 and newer diesel trucks need semiannual CARB compliance testing, and missing a deadline means registration blocks and fines up to $10,000 per vehicle per day.
That’s not a scare tactic. That’s the regulation.
We bring CARB certified smog check testing to your location in Beaumont, CA so you don’t lose a day shuttling trucks to a testing facility. Your trucks get tested during natural breaks in operation. You get results sent directly to CARB. And you stay ahead of deadlines without the logistical nightmare of coordinating multiple vehicles across tight schedules.
This isn’t about checking a box. It’s about protecting your ability to operate without interruption.
We’ve been CARB certified for over two years, and we’ve completed more than 250 Clean Truck Checks for heavy-duty vehicle compliance in California. We’re not a general smog shop trying to figure out CARB truck regulations on the fly.
We focus exclusively on 2013 and newer diesel engines with OBD systems over 14,000 pounds GVWR. That’s the exact category California requires to test under the Clean Truck Check program.
Beaumont, CA has 365 trucking companies and a strong commercial vehicle presence with dealerships like Performance Truck and Beaumont Freightliner serving the area. You need someone who understands the local operation and can work around your routes and schedules. We’re licensed, insured with $2,000,000 liability coverage, and we show up where you need us.
You schedule an appointment that works with your fleet’s schedule. We come to your location in Beaumont, CA with mobile testing equipment designed for heavy-duty emissions compliance.
The test itself is an OBD scan that connects directly to your truck’s onboard diagnostics system. We’re checking that your 2013 or newer diesel engine meets California CARB compliant standards and that emissions control systems are functioning properly. The process is fast, and we handle all the reporting.
Once the test is complete, results go straight to CARB. You get documentation showing compliance, and your vehicle stays current with state requirements. If there’s an issue, you know exactly what needs attention before it becomes a registration problem or a roadside citation.
We also provide automated reminders for your next compliance deadline. For 2025 and beyond, your trucks will need testing twice a year. Missing a deadline isn’t just an administrative hassle—it can ground your vehicle and cost you serious money in lost productivity and penalties.

If your truck is model year 2013 or newer, has a diesel engine, and weighs over 14,000 pounds GVWR, it’s subject to California’s Clean Truck Check program. This applies whether your truck is registered in California or out of state—if it operates here, it needs to comply.
Starting January 1, 2024, proof of compliance became mandatory. For 2024, one test was required. Starting in 2025, you’re looking at semiannual testing. The compliance fee is $32.13 as of January 2026, and that goes to the state, not the testing provider.
Beaumont, CA sits along major freight corridors, and CARB enforcement isn’t theoretical. Non-compliant trucks can be cited during roadside inspections, and the DMV will block registration renewals if you’re not current. The cost of non-compliance far exceeds the cost of testing. We’re talking about $450 to $750 per day in downtime for a sidelined truck, plus potential fines that can hit five figures fast.
You don’t need to become a CARB expert. You just need to work with someone who already is. We track your deadlines, handle the testing, and make sure your documentation is in order so you can focus on moving freight, not managing compliance paperwork.
If your truck is model year 2013 or newer, runs on diesel, and has a gross vehicle weight rating over 14,000 pounds, then yes—it needs CARB compliance testing under California’s Clean Truck Check program. This applies to both California-registered trucks and out-of-state trucks operating in California.
The program started January 1, 2024, and the requirement is statewide. Beaumont, CA is no exception. If you’re running freight through California or operating locally, your newer heavy-duty diesel trucks fall under this regulation.
Older trucks and lighter vehicles are not subject to Clean Truck Check. If your truck is 2012 or older, or if it’s under 14,000 pounds GVWR, this testing requirement doesn’t apply to you. But for 2013 and newer diesel engines in the heavy-duty category, compliance isn’t optional.
Starting in 2025, trucks subject to the Clean Truck Check program need testing twice a year—semiannual compliance. For 2024 only, one test was required to get you into the system.
Your specific deadlines depend on when your truck was last tested and when it’s due for registration renewal. CARB sets the schedule, and missing a deadline triggers registration holds and potential fines. That’s not a grace period situation—the consequences are immediate.
We provide automated reminders so you’re not tracking this manually. Fleet operators especially benefit from having someone manage compliance deadlines across multiple vehicles. One missed test can ground a truck and cost you days of revenue, so staying ahead of the schedule is critical.
If your truck doesn’t pass, you’ll get a detailed report showing what triggered the failure. Most failures are related to emissions control system malfunctions—things like DPF issues, SCR system problems, or sensor faults that prevent the OBD system from verifying compliance.
You’ll need to get the issue repaired and then retest. The truck can’t be registered or legally operated in California until it passes. That’s where the real cost comes in—downtime while you’re diagnosing and fixing the problem, plus the risk of penalties if you’re caught operating a non-compliant vehicle.
The good news is that most well-maintained 2013 and newer trucks pass without issue. The test is checking that factory-installed emissions equipment is working as designed. If you’re keeping up with regular maintenance and addressing check engine lights promptly, you’re usually in good shape. But if something does come up, you want to know about it during a scheduled test, not during a roadside inspection.
We come to you. That’s the whole point of mobile CARB compliance testing. You don’t need to take your truck out of service and drive it to a testing facility.
We bring the equipment to your yard, your shop, or wherever your trucks are parked in Beaumont, CA. You schedule a time that works with your operation, and we handle the testing on-site. For fleets with multiple vehicles, this saves a massive amount of time and coordination compared to shuttling trucks one by one to a stationary location.
Same-day appointments are available depending on schedule, and we work around your routes and delivery windows. The test itself doesn’t take long, and we’re set up to handle heavy-duty diesel trucks that meet the 2013+ and 14,000+ pound requirements. If your truck qualifies for Clean Truck Check, we can test it at your location.
The state compliance fee is $32.13 as of January 2026, and that’s paid to CARB, not the testing provider. Our testing fee is separate and covers the mobile service, OBD diagnostics, reporting, and compliance documentation.
For fleets with multiple vehicles, we offer competitive pricing that makes it easier to manage semiannual testing across your operation. The cost of testing is minimal compared to the cost of non-compliance—registration blocks, fines up to $10,000 per vehicle per day, and downtime that can run $450 to $750 or more per day depending on your operation.
You’re not paying for testing because it’s optional. You’re paying because it’s required, and the alternative is getting shut down. We make the process as efficient and affordable as possible so compliance doesn’t become a major line item in your operating budget. Call us for a specific quote based on your fleet size and testing frequency.
A regular smog check is for passenger vehicles and lighter trucks under 14,000 pounds. Clean Truck Check is specifically for heavy-duty diesel trucks model year 2013 and newer with a GVWR over 14,000 pounds. The testing method, equipment, and reporting requirements are completely different.
Clean Truck Check uses OBD-based emissions testing that connects to your truck’s onboard diagnostics system. It’s checking that your diesel emissions controls—DPF, SCR, EGR, and related sensors—are functioning and meeting California CARB compliant standards. Results are reported directly to CARB, and compliance is tied to your vehicle registration.
Most smog shops don’t have the equipment, certification, or expertise to perform Clean Truck Check testing. It’s a specialized service that requires CARB certification and experience with heavy-duty diesel emissions systems. If someone tells you they can do a “regular smog test” on your 2013 or newer heavy-duty truck, they’re not talking about the same thing California requires under the Clean Truck Check program.
