What we do

Local help that makes Clean Truck Check simple.

California's Clean Truck Check program requires periodic emissions compliance testing for most heavy-duty vehicles operating in the state. We make that requirement easy to handle: we identify the right testing path for your vehicle, perform or coordinate the test, and help you confirm everything is reported correctly so you stay compliant and on the road.

Built for busy operators

Owner-operators, small fleets, RV owners, and local businesses get a clear, no-jargon path through testing and reporting.

The full compliance picture

From the test itself to NST notices and CTC-VIS account questions, we help with the parts that usually cause confusion.

Services

Testing and compliance support built around how Clean Truck Check actually works.

Most newer heavy-duty vehicles use OBD testing, while older non-OBD vehicles generally require smoke opacity testing plus a visual inspection under Clean Truck Check workflows.

OBD

OBD testing

For applicable OBD-equipped vehicles, we help coordinate compliant testing using the approved process required for Clean Truck Check reporting.

Opacity

Smoke opacity testing

Non-OBD vehicles generally follow the SAE J1667 smoke opacity path, which is part of the Clean Truck Check program for older engines.

Inspection

Visual inspection

We help with emissions control equipment inspection support for the vehicles that need the visual portion of the program.

Mobile

Mobile / on-site service

On-site scheduling can help reduce downtime for customers managing multiple vehicles or tight operating windows.

NST

NST help

If you received a Notice to Submit to Testing, we help you understand the testing path and what needs to be submitted next.

Account

CTC-VIS account help

Vehicle owners are responsible for their Clean Truck Check reporting and account activity, so we also help customers navigate CTC-VIS and confirm status.

FAQ

Answers to the questions customers ask first.

What vehicles usually need Clean Truck Check testing?

The program generally applies to almost all non-gasoline heavy-duty vehicles over 14,000 pounds GVWR that operate in California.

Do all vehicles use the same test?

No. Newer applicable vehicles usually use OBD testing, while older non-OBD vehicles generally follow smoke opacity and visual inspection requirements.

Can you help if I got an NST?

Yes. If you received a Notice to Submit to Testing, the owner generally needs to submit a passing compliance test within the required time window, and we help you understand that next step.

Can you help with my Clean Truck Check account?

Yes. Owners are responsible for their Clean Truck Check account and reporting, and we can help you navigate CTC-VIS, registration flow, and result checking.

Do you offer mobile or on-site testing?

Yes. We offer mobile, on-site service across LA County and Orange County to help reduce downtime for fleets and operators with multiple vehicles or tight schedules.
