Trucking companies aren’t the only ones to face the wrath of expensive fines issued by the California Air Resources Board.
CARB announced Tuesday that the air quality agency has fined the city of Compton, CA, $48,000 for “a variety of infractions pertaining to its diesel fleet vehicles.”
CARB said the city has a “checkered” diesel vehicle maintenance and recordkeeping history, and failed to properly maintain and self-inspect its diesel trucks and register construction equipment. Compton also failed to test and maintain smoke level records for its heavy-duty diesel vehicles in 2008 and 2009.
