Apply for CARB Drayage
All trucks (with minor exceptions) desiring to enter the port must be registered in the CARB Drayage Truck Registry of the California Air Resources Board (ARB). See below for the link to the ARB. This requirement is for the specific truck, not the driver. Upon entry to the port, the truck must display the appropriate sticker, or the driver must possess printed proof of registry.
Some trucks will not be able to meet the clean air requirements, and the ARB will not issue a certification. These trucks may still enter the port by obtaining a One Trip Pass from the Port of Hueneme – see below for the link to the Port of Hueneme. Be aware that in such cases you are self reporting a non-complaint truck, and may be liable, at ARB discretion, for applicable fines.
