Pursuant to state regulation, operators of diesel-fueled trucks, with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 10,000 pounds, shall not idle for more than 5 minutes when stopped within California's borders. Currently, there is an exemption for sleeper berth trucks, which allows them to idle during periods of sleep and rest. However, starting JANUARY 1, 2008, this will change; all sleeper berth trucks, regardless of model year, will also be required to shutdown their engines after 5 minutes.

Because the regulation is part of the federally mandated State Implementation Plan, it is also enforceable by EPA. “EPA does probably more enforcement on this than we might, and they have more jurisdiction and higher fines,”
