Federal smog laws GregO'Connor

Don when you cant find good stuff on google, use google news, google blogs or even google images. google filters out news from its web search and images sometimes have creative tags which will land you closer to info. I like to review products and info in News and Blogs to get the subjective dirt.

Here is a link to News about Longbeach. When I go to any city with my rig ,local police departments have Commercial cops who spend their time reviewing commercial vehiclesdriving in that city. For the most part these city servants are way cool and a stop is under 45 min. Local cops have been the first to ask me to race the engine while they check for visible smoke. I am sure they would stop a smoking bus for the $300. plus.

The smoke testing service I hire is AMERC Inc. they test all my crap right down to diesel jumpjack dirt stompers. My bus would not pass review because itis two stroke. I dont register it with my commercial equipment and I dont dodge tax by using a shill corporation so the bus is personal property and exempt from the smoke program. it is not exempt from smoke laws that it now violate. AMERC business cardadvertises ARB Mandated Testing. Air Resources Board . Here is a Riverside articleon ARB but it is mis leading in that you assume arb programshave yet to start. I was talking with about 16 truckers sitting roadside last Thursday waiting for tow or bond.

I think someone posted that Macie was a lobbyist or CCW is represented by one in Washinton (I am thinking to push mandates forward, 'Moneytree hugger'). I cant say I am against the smog rules and implementationif it has a clean environmental outcome. I would think Macie could offer better insight.
