Clean Truck Check in Long Beach

Long Beach runs on the port. Drayage tractors, transload yards along the 710 and local delivery fleets can book Clean Truck Check testing at the yard, so trucks keep pulling containers instead of waiting at a test site.

Which test does your truck need?

  • Vehicle → test method
  • 2013+ diesel engines with OBD

    CARB-verified OBD test

  • 2012 and older diesel without OBD

    Smoke opacity test + visual inspection

  • 2018+ alternative-fuel engines with OBD

    Visual inspection

Most covered trucks (over 14,000 lb GVWR, including out-of-state trucks driving in California) currently test twice a year. Under the original rule, OBD-equipped vehicles move to four tests per year from October 1, 2027. A bill has proposed cutting testing to once a year, so requirements may change. Always check your own deadlines in CARB’s CTC-VIS system. Open CTC-VIS Source: California Air Resources Board.

Long Beach Clean Truck Check FAQ

Can Clean Truck Check be done at my yard in Long Beach?

Yes. Diesel Dynamix is a mobile service. We come to your yard, jobsite or parking location in Long Beach and test your trucks on-site, so you never drive to a test center.

Do you do smoke tests in Long Beach?

Yes. We perform smoke opacity tests with a visual inspection for 2012 and older diesel engines without OBD, and CARB-verified OBD tests for 2013 and newer engines, anywhere in Long Beach and the rest of Southern California.

Can you test a whole fleet in Long Beach?

Yes. Tell us how many trucks you have in Long Beach and we will plan one visit to test as many as possible, with recurring testing so every truck stays inside its Clean Truck Check window.

Clean Truck Check in Long Beach, tested where you park

Diesel Dynamix does Clean Truck Check testing in Long Beach at your yard, shop lot or home. We drive to the truck, so you skip the trip to a test site and keep the day's loads on schedule.

Truck emissions testing in Long Beach follows the same CARB rules as the rest of the state:

  • A CARB OBD test for 2013 and newer diesel and 2018 and newer alternative-fuel engines.
  • A diesel smoke test (smoke opacity plus visual inspection) for 2012 and older diesel trucks without OBD.
  • A visual inspection for 2017 and older alternative-fuel vehicles without OBD.

Most covered vehicles currently test twice a year. Under CARB's original rule, OBD-equipped trucks move to four tests a year from October 1, 2027, though a bill has proposed cutting testing to once a year. Your own deadlines are in CTC-VIS, and we give you the next due date after every test. See how often trucks need testing.

West Long Beach, downtown and the 710 corridor

Yes, we test semi trucks and container tractors in West Long Beach (90810), central Long Beach (90813) and downtown (90802). These neighborhoods sit next to the 710 corridor and the harbor, and many yards here run trucks in and out all day.

A mobile truck smog check in West Long Beach works around that traffic. We can come early in the morning, test each truck in the lot and leave you with results per VIN. If you run port drayage, our Port of Long Beach page covers terminal-side details.

Along the 710 corridor we also test trucks parked at shops and lots heading north toward the Gateway Cities. One truck or a full fleet, the process is the same:

  1. Tell us the truck count and engine years.
  2. We confirm OBD or smoke test for each truck.
  3. We test on site and explain any failure in plain English.

We do not do repairs. If a truck fails, your mechanic fixes it and we come back for the retest.

Signal Hill, Lakewood, Bellflower, Cerritos and Norwalk

We cover the cities around Long Beach too. Signal Hill sits inside Long Beach, and we test trucks there the same way we do in the city. To the north and east we drive to Lakewood, Bellflower, Cerritos, Norwalk, Artesia and La Mirada.

These cities have plenty of contractors, delivery operators and service fleets with vehicles over 14,000 lb GVWR. That can include box trucks, dump trucks, buses and motorhomes, where they fall under the program. If you are not sure your vehicle is covered, read which vehicles need Clean Truck Check or check CARB's rules for your vehicle.

For fleets, we set up recurring visits with per-truck pricing and send reminders before each round. Missing a deadline can lead to a DMV registration hold for California-registered trucks, plus CARB citations and penalties. Regular visits keep that from happening. Call or text (858) 342-8328 or book online.

Do you come to West Long Beach truck yards near the 710?

Yes. We test trucks on site in West Long Beach and along the 710 corridor, including early-morning visits before trucks head out.

Yes. We test semi trucks and other vehicles over 14,000 lb GVWR in Signal Hill, Lakewood and nearby cities at your yard or home.

Does my older truck need a diesel smoke test in Long Beach?

If it is a diesel with a 2012 or older engine and no OBD, yes. It gets a smoke opacity test plus a visual inspection instead of an OBD test.

What happens if my truck fails its test in Long Beach?

The truck needs repair, then a retest. We explain the cause in plain English, such as a check engine light or DPF fault, but we do not do repairs.

Will you remind me when my Long Beach trucks are due again?

Yes. We give you the next due date after each test and send reminders, and fleets can set up recurring visits.
