Truckers visiting CA ports must sign up with CARB now
Truck owners who make stops at California ports have reached an important deadline. Trucks that visit ports in California are required to be signed up with the California Air Resources Board’s drayage registry by Sept. 30. The application can be found here. For more information, click here. Truckers visiting the ports on Oct. 1 and later must be signed up with the drayage registry. Beginning Jan. 1, 2010, trucks with 1993 or older engines are banned at ports and intermodal rail yards. Also on New Year’s Day, trucks with model year 1994-2003 engines must be equipped with a CARB-approved diesel particulate filter. The CARB port rule is different from local port plans adopted by ports at Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Oakland, which have their own equipment limits. – By Charlie Morasch, staff writer [email protected] |
Carb @ the ports
A friend of mine just spent 27 hrs. in Long Beach at Hanjin getting a can out.
There was some dispute about the "concessionaire" rules. He did say there's no junk trucks in the pier like there used to be. I look for "flip" yards outside the pier to become quite an industry, I've always detested going in the piers so the flip yards outside might be a good thing. Although I'm sure they won't be doing it for free. |
I spoke with a broker a couple of months ago who told me that they had a yard outside of Long Beach where they were switching out loads from the port.

This is something the broker was paying, but I am sure it was coming out of the rate. I believe they contracted with one or more people to bring them out of the port.
