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)
