Truck Check Up Academy
Noregon also launched Truck Check Up Academy, a free training resource comprising three training modules for shops and fleets using Truck Check Up to comply with CARB Clean Truck Check inspections. Clean Truck Check’s goal is to identify older trucks that emit excessive pollutants and get them repaired. Non-compliance results in fines and/or loss of registration.
“Fleets can’t afford for a repair job to get stuck behind a lengthy inspection,” Boerboom said. “We introduced the Truck Check Up Academy so technicians would know warning signs to look for before performing an inspection and how to interpret various results from CARB to quickly get a vehicle passed and out the door.”
The EPA recently announced a proposal to remove the Clean Truck Check requirement for heavy-duty vehicles not registered in California, but even if that becomes an EPA final rule, California fleets will still need to abide CARB’s mandate, which involves getting diagnostic scans twice a year. For trucks and buses without an OBD port, CARB performs a smoke opacity test.
Noregon expects upon completing the modules on the CTC regulation, Truck Check Up software, and Truck Check Up Portal, shop personnel will have a much better understanding of how to leverage the Noregon software to stay in CARB’s good graces.
Specifically on Truck Check Up Portal, “[users] can manage users, view historical inspection results, and perform admin duties that keep shop bays flowing,” Boerboom said.
