Frequently asked questions
What is the California Clean Truck Check?
The Clean Truck Check is a California program that requires most non-gasoline heavy-duty vehicles over 14,000 lbs GVWR operating in California to have periodic emissions compliance testing. It applies to California-registered trucks and many out-of-state trucks that operate in the state.
Do I need a Clean Truck Check inspection?
If you operate a non-gasoline heavy-duty vehicle over 14,000 lbs GVWR in California, you likely need to comply. That includes owner-operators, small fleets, and many local service vehicles. If you're not sure, call or message us and we'll walk through it with you.
How often do I need testing?
Most covered vehicles need testing on a recurring schedule set by the state. Frequency depends on the vehicle type and model year. We'll help you understand your specific schedule during booking.
How long does an inspection take?
A typical Clean Truck Check compliance test takes around 20 to 40 minutes depending on the vehicle and test type. We respect your time and your route — we aim to get you in and out quickly.
What do I need to bring to the appointment?
Bring your vehicle registration, VIN, and any previous compliance paperwork you have. If you booked online, you'll get a checklist by email after scheduling.
Do you work with fleets?
Yes. We handle small owner-operator setups and multi-truck fleets. If you manage a fleet and want recurring testing on a schedule, contact us for fleet pricing.
