I plan on never taking a truck into Cali. Solves that problem.

Does anyone have . .
. . first hand experience with enforcement? I'm guessing, in the absence of a specific complaint form Nitwit Citizen, the cops will leave us alone.
I don't spend too much time in Phoenix but I'm there often enough to know they don't enforce their ordinance yet they have signs posted everywhere.

You have to watch out for certain towns in CA. There is and has been a couple of LEO's in the Barstow area that seem to have nothing better to do than go around and harass truckers.
You also need to watch idleaire employees. Some of these idiots have been known to call the cops and report idling violators and then come up and make their sales pitch after you get a ticket.

Fresno is another town, where they don't seem to have anything better to do, than enforcing idle laws. In 04, when they first posted their idle-law, I saw Fresno PD cars idling around the parking lot at Kleins, counting the number of idling trucks, then they would come back an hour later and right tickets to those still idling. :roll: :roll:

That helps except for the fact that there are NO APU's that meet the CARB standards.

Wow...I didn't know there were none availible...
I have an idea!!! Get a rope, tie it around the steering wheel to hold the wheel hard left or right, set the truck in first gear, and idle away! You won't be "idling"...you'll be moving...... :twisted:
