Canadian Fleets Entering California Must Comply with Clean Truck Check

All Canadian carriers entering California for any business activity must meet California’s Clean Truck Check (CTC) requirements. This applies to cross-border trucking, logistics, intermodal, drayage, and specialized transport.

CTC requires emissions testing based on engine model year:

2013 and newer engines: OBD emissions testing
2012 and older engines: OVI testing (opacity + visual inspection)

Jimenez Fleet Services provides 100% mobile testing throughout Southern California—including the ports, border entry routes, and inland logistics hubs.
