Previously Submitted Questions:

  • Is it a requirement for non CDL box truck to have an ELD

    Yes, non-CDL box trucks may require an ELD depending on their weight, operation, and whether they meet the criteria for exemptions like the short-haul exception.


    All motor carriers and drivers, including those operating in intrastate commerce, are required to use an ELD to record a driver's RODS, pursuant to Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Section 1213(a)(1), unless otherwise exempted.

  • Did NTA stop offering drug testing?

    It was Nationwide Testing that went out of business. We ended our relationship with them last year when they reneged on our contract.


    Our New Service Provider as of September of 2024 for Drug Testing is a nationwide Nationally Accredited non-profit named Drug Free Business. All verified NTA Member receive a special discount.

    NTA Members also get a cost competitive price on the NTA ELD unless you are exempt.

  • Why are non CDL trucks required at the weigh in stations?

    Non-CDL trucks, including U-Haul trucks and other commercial vehicles, are required to stop at weigh stations to ensure compliance with weight regulations and promote road safety by preventing overloaded vehicles, which can damage infrastructure and pose hazards. 

  • Can you tell me about the new California Heavy Truck Emission regulations…

    Trucking News, in the Search bar enter CARB. We have about ten articles listed here

  • Do I need to have a up-to-date Unified Carrier Registration

    That depends on if you have trucks or not. You are only required to have an up-to-date unified carrier registration if you currently have trucks, power units or drivers.
