Bulk fleet emissions testing
Pulling tractors to random shops one at a time destroys utilization. Yard-day bulk scheduling brings a CARB credentialed tester to your terminal, sequences VINs efficiently, and clears dozens of CTC-VIS windows before deadline pressure peaks.
Planning a yard day
Start 4–6 weeks before the tightest due date in your batch. Export VINs from CTC-VIS, flag test type (OBD vs opacity), and mark units with recent fault codes for pre-test shop time—not same-day surprises.
Reserve contiguous parking so the mobile tester can move cable to cable without repositioning tractors across the lot. Notify gate security and provide a site contact who can locate keys and start engines.
CARB compliance fees (commonly cited at $32.13 per VIN—verify on arb.ca.gov) should be current before testing day; fee issues can block result processing independent of inspection quality.
Booking on Zurfex
Search credentialed testers near your yard ZIP on Zurfex. Message mobile-capable providers with your unit count, test mix, and preferred date range. Many offer volume pricing for eight or more tractors in one visit.
For ongoing programs, search and book via Find Testers or contact our team for fleet coordination help, and maintain a rolling calendar aligned with CTC-VIS deadlines.
Budget tester fees using the $60–$350 per unit range—see costs guide—plus internal labor for moving trucks and drivers.
After the yard day
Reconcile pass/fail against your VIN list within 48 hours in CTC-VIS. Failed units go straight to maintenance bays with retest appointments booked before they re-enter dispatch rotation.
Pair bulk testing with compliance policies and fleet management workflows for the next cycle—especially as quarterly testing expands.
