The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites you to participate in a public workshop to discuss the development of the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) regulation proposal. Staff will be presenting updates to a regulatory concept that would require heavy-duty vehicle and chassis manufacturers to sell a portion of Class 2B and larger vehicles sales as zero-emission and would require mandatory reporting for larger companies and fleets.

This extension is based on a recommendation from the UCR Board. The start of the 2019 UCR registration period was delayed while the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) completed its rulemaking process on fee levels for 2019 and further delays have created cause for the extension.

Remembering Walt Keeny

"Always enjoyed visiting with Walt, appreciated his passion for the trucking industry and the insurance market place. I knew or was aware of several drivers that drove for Keeney, Walt knew his people and often make positive comments related to the work ethic of many of those gents. In the beginning of my trucking career Keeney provided me the opportunity of learning how to drive commercial vehicles." - Henry Dirksen, Rocha Transportation
