Why Sacramento Fleet Operators Choose NorCal CARB Mobile

As California's state capital and the sixth-largest city in the state with over 525,000 residents in the metro area of 2.4 million people, Sacramento is Northern California's transportation and logistics nerve center. Your diesel trucks, government fleets, and commercial vehicles keep the capital region moving.

NorCal CARB Mobile brings certified CARB Clean Truck Check testing directly to your location across Sacramento County and the greater metro area—from state government motor pools in downtown Sacramento to warehouse districts in West Sacramento, from construction fleets in Elk Grove to delivery operations in Rancho Cordova.

Sacramento's Unique CARB Testing Challenges—Solved

State Government Fleet Operations

Sacramento is home to California's state government operations with thousands of fleet vehicles requiring CARB compliance:

State Motor Pool Vehicles: California Department of General Services operates massive fleet operations supporting state agencies. From CalTrans maintenance trucks to California Highway Patrol support vehicles, state-owned diesel trucks over 14,000 lbs GVWR require biannual J1667 Smoke Testing.

Municipal Fleet Operations: Sacramento City and County operate extensive public works fleets—waste management trucks, street maintenance vehicles, parks department equipment, and emergency services support vehicles all need CARB compliance.

Contractor Fleets Serving Government: Companies with state contracts for construction, facilities maintenance, landscaping, and delivery services must maintain CARB-compliant fleets to bid on government projects.

We test at: State facilities, municipal yards, contractor staging areas, government parking facilities

We coordinate with: Fleet managers, procurement offices, facilities coordinators, contract compliance officers

Pricing: $75 OBD | $250 J1667 | Fleet discounts available for government contractors

Major Transportation Corridor Hub

Sacramento sits at the intersection of I-5, I-80, and US Highway 50—three of California's most critical freight corridors connecting the Bay Area, Central Valley, Northern California, and Nevada:

I-5 North-South Corridor: The primary route between Northern and Southern California carries thousands of long-haul trucks daily. Sacramento is a strategic refueling, rest, and maintenance stop for trucks running between Oregon, the Bay Area, and Los Angeles.

I-80 East-West Corridor: Connecting San Francisco Bay Area to Reno and beyond, I-80 through Sacramento handles commercial traffic from Port of Oakland, Silicon Valley tech shipments, and transcontinental freight.

US-50 Sierra Access: "The Loneliest Road in America" begins in Sacramento, serving South Lake Tahoe tourism, ski resort logistics, and Eastern Sierra commerce.

We service major truck stops:

  • TA Travel Center - Madison Avenue (I-80 Exit 95)

  • Sacramento 49er Travel Plaza - El Centro Road (I-80 Exit 85)
