SubjectSmoke Testing Trucks Twice
Comment
Truck fleets like ours have to smoke test their trucks with an
opacity test machine once a year.  I just received a registration
renewal in the mail for one of our diesel pickups and it requires
diesel trucks less than 14,000 GVW to be smog tested at a local
smog station.  The smog stations don't have the opacity test
equipment like we have.  They are told to look to see if it smokes.
 If it does, fail it.  Why do we have to smoke test our trucks then
have them smog tested when the registration is due?  That’s doing
the same job twice.  Can you please consider removing one of the
requirements.  Having us do a test then the State do a test is
ridiculous.
